Shadows

Lorenz

I contemplate these hasty and fearful shadows

running  in the rain .

Patient stroller in quiet daily life 

 what do you dream of ?

Are you nothing more than old musical 

that keeps knocking on our soul's door ?

Chinese theater or  calm morning ?

Silent voices accompanying  our passions

in the capricious hand of a time-maker deity ...

 What's your secret destination 

when sleep casts a veil over the life ?

And  the kingdom you join ,

freed from the  chains of flesh ?

Humble servant that I drag along

 in my madness...

Without ever leaning over to look at you...

 Maybe are you in need of love ?

I am this dreamer  lost in the moon

never talking to his feet ,

 you follow me wordlessly  in my quest

in the depths of oceans ,

inaccessible peaks 

and elusive stars ...

  How could I understand ,faithful companion,

  the simplicity of your devotion ?

    I hear voiced the difficulty in understanding others. Very nicely worded in poetic form. The truth lies in do we really understand each other or not.
