The lean and pale shadow
Knocked my door and said to me,
'Open the door, please',
I listened
In my sleepy realm,
Being startled,
I asked him the reason,
But the shadow remained silent,
I waited,
After a while again he gently knocked my door,
Again I asked him the reason,
This time also the pale shadow didn't give the answer,
I understood everything,
Actually the lean shadow was a deceiver.
Thanks, Anjandev! I posted my own poem, inspired by this one, 'Don't Listen to the Shadows'. Thanks again.
I believe poet Cowboy Ron Williams (see below) has posted a poem in answer to this one. I'll check it out soon.
I don't get it (its meaning) . How could anyone call this poem 'brilliant'? ? (as LeeAnn wrote below) Of courseI have never been called 'brilliant', so maybe the 'fault' is mine, not the poet's. Hmm? bri : )
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Don't listen to the shadows, I learned back in my youth. Don't listen to the shadows; they never tell the truth.
