    A CASTOUT SHADOW

     

     

    What is a shadow

    It is always there

    No matter when or where

    You may think to go

     

    It stares and looks

    As you walk your way

    It is there everyday

    As words are in books

     

    Sometimes it makes you wonder

    Does it hold your soul

    Without it are you whole

    Could it throw you asunder

     

    If you were to cut it out

    Could you go on

    Or for eternity is it gone

    There are things in doubt

     

    Without it would you be alone

    Always and forever

    These are things to endeavor

    When not being able to go home

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
