    The shadow people 1-5-05

     Shadows of all shapes and sizes
    wander aimlessly through space and time past my cell door
    speaking meaningless words when no ones around
    thinking meaningless thoughts that don't make a sound

    Once they were brothers,sons,fathers,lovers
    now they exist without definition
    no phone calls,no letters,no visits
    they have even lost their birthdays

    Faded shadows of lives that used to be lived
    now without meaning without purpose
    lost,forgotten,missing pieces of the world
    to them doing time has lost all meaning
    its just a measure against infinity

    There is no meaning to the rhyme
    so on and on they wander 

    The shadow people.

    I agree this definetly from the heart and years of things that have happened to you. It makes me sad but also makes me think about how life really is.

    thank you so much I am overjoyed to be able to let others in to see a side of me that often gets overlooked its very therapeutic even though impersonal but baby steps right? Again thanks and stay tuned for more ok

    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.
