Suddenly
the limpid
stupor
of the immensity
towers
above the debris
And the man
bent
over the water
surprised
by the sun
discovers
a shadow
Wafting in pieces and
gently
floating away

Comments1I really enjoyed reading this poem; it made me ponder over the vastness of the universe and our insignificant place within it. The imagery of a man leaning over water and noticing a fleeting shadow creates a strong visual that represents our fleeting existence. The words used here subtly evoke a sense of humility and introspection. Truly thought-provoking!
