Cave Paintings...

Who mentioned rage against the dying of the light
     when not all darkness obscures?
Like the sensory deprivation you endure
     in the world you have made for yourself
testing you virtues and beliefs
     that flicker in the wind,
jumping to the same conclusions
     that seem to come around again and again

For what would the world be without shadows?
     Like a one-dimensional cartoon
made so much more comical;
     no real substance,
just and image painted on a cave wall
     to mirror the world without going into specifics...

Better into shadows peer
     seek out and then confront your fears
Find the difference between sun and moon-shadows...
