Day does not begin with sunlight,
It begins with waking.
Dreams go through day and night
And never ask: am I awake?
Dreams sometimes sleep
And then there is true shadow.
I went to sleep in jail
And woke up having killed.
The room where you find the door
Was made of black satin.
The robe of the judge
rustled in darkness I found waiting.
No evil can be done at night,
No good during the day.

This very much 'me'.
A little dark but not sinister and the last two lines are the killer punch . . .
'No evil can be done at night,
No good during the day.'
Oh man alive that is good.
Thanks so much CJ! So glad you found the reward from this little sonnet. Your sage comments are always welcome!

Thanks Gulnaz! As you know, I've been enjoying your recent posts. Wasn't aware of the quote from Hindi, but am pleased to hear about it. Glad you found something strong and valuable here. I'm still reeling from writing this!
I can see why you'd still be reeling from writing this - it's very powerful. No good during the day... WOW...
Thanks JPD! Looks like you had a good trip, the photos looked great. I'm so glad you enjoyed this. See you soon!
You have turned perspective inside out in this one. Well done.
Thanks .:A:.! Glad the crippled musician could do the dance for you.
Love this it's so criptic, like a ghost just round the corner that cannot be seen
Thanks Sue! I felt a presence while I was writing this. Glad it wasn't just me!

"Dreams sometimes sleep
And then there is true shadow"
especially loved the concept of true shadow.
Wow Lorena, thanks! There are several concepts like playful cats running around in this thing. True shadow is a particularly nice one. Glad you found this stimulating. Rally liked your new B&Ws!
