shadow ii

Eugene S.

and so it was he came to know himself
from the paths he followed, the places he slept
the respite created, the barriers he laid
for none could enter without his blessing
lest all that he had created be unmade
and even still he admitted those who would betray
who would take what was given only to hurl away

everything

thus he is what he is today
of lessons learned before the grave
humans are destined to be a dichotomy
the good  the bad  and all the details between
could it be better to just remain unseen

    Thought provoking in its ambiguity yet holds the attention with its imagery. Nicely written
