Shadow World

poem by: John Prophet
Written on May 27, 2025 

Shadow
world.
Real
enough
yet
incomplete.
Shadow
inhabitants.
Shadow
minds.
Perfectly
designed
for shadow
life,
understanding.
Nothing more.
Limited.
Focused
on a
wall.
Stuck
to a
limited
realm.
All that
can be
understood
on that
wall.
Eternal
shadows
cascading
indefinitely.
Infinitely.
Slices
of the
whole.
All that
can be
known.
Slice after
slice
unique.
Yet,
disconnected.
Merely
shadows
on a
cave wall.
Limited.
