Hot red sun, cutting across tempered air,
blistering the cool breeze of recent dawn,
trickling into madness upon a harsh summer breeze,
while clouds flee and are suddenly... gone,
Dark shade visible underneath vast canopy,
so close, yet walking closer, observation shows it is not a tree,
but the visage of a man... so vast that his figure blots out the sun,
but wait... it is but a shadow of a man, and as the sun fades, shadow flees,
and yet....full moon appears, from behind dark clouds... and shadow returns,
towering against the full moonlight, never acknowledging servitude to the sun,
ever a reflected image... but ever magnificent stands the shadow,
following the sculpture of life, and proud... not once does it ever run,
Silent but bold he follows not blindly, but with undying loyalty and devotion,
ever the soldier... ever the shadow.

There is the standard beauty of a nature poem you write of in this poem. Dennis does that too, so in no way would that be an insult. I feel I like that talent to be able to paint the landscape with words, so that does indeed impress me. However, this is mysterious and I tend to wonder what it's really about and that intrigues me even more. Who was that man? This giant who blocks out the sun? Mystery rocks!
Thank you,
Tim |
