The Shadow of Truth

 

The shadow of truth

 

As ripening fruits

 

Follow their roots

 

The shadow follows the truth

 

 

As the moon lights the source of the shadow

 

As the shadow shapes the source of the root

 

As the source reunites with what follows

 

As the sun turns the shadow around truth

 

 

When the tree knows its forest

 

When the grass knows its field

 

When the rock knows its mountain

 

When a human grows to feel

 

 

The shadow of truth

 

As ripened fruits

 

Fall close to their roots

 

The shadow falls close to the truth

 

 

As the moon lights the source of the shadow

 

As the shadow shapes the source of the root

 

As the source reunites with what follows

 

As the sun turns the shadow into truth

 

 

When the truth knows its shadow

 

When the shadow knows its truth

 

When a human knows its limits

 

When a human knows its proof

 

 

As the tree knows its forest

 

As the grass knows its field

 

As the rock knows its mountain

 

As a human knows its real

 

 

As the truth holds its shadow

 

As the shadow holds its heart

 

As God holds its human

 

As the human holds to God
