Words Are Shadows
Words Are Shadows
I climbed atop a mountain,
I wish that you were there.
A shadow of the thing itself,
Is all I have to share.
I wish that you were there.
A shadow of the thing itself,
Is all I have to share.
My words are only shadows,
They're shadows of a time.
They're shadows not the thing itself,
That mountain you must climb.

unique...
and I think very relatable on the fact that words can never describe something as well as we want them to...
nicely written and I hope to see more of you soon!

"Not the thing...
but the thing itself..." is the way Wallace Stevens approaches words as symbols and symbols as existence. Cool write ~a~
