A frozen shadow

 

 

A false belief thought to be true

 

is like a frozen shadow

 

contracted in mind and body

 

But in the brilliant light of Being

 

it dissolves into true seeing

 

In this knowing light

 

a shadow has

 

no power

 

to fight

How true, N T :-)
The imagery is especially effective in this piece, perhaps because 'shadow' always reminds me of Plato's cave and 'contracted' suggests to me a form of imprisonment. And then, the light! It shines as brightly as your poetry, my friend.
Applause!
