Open the book of shadows And read what is written. Behold, pages are umbra, others panumbra, and all end in darkness. Scared? Shout as loud as you may But nobody will hear you. Angry? This is the goal, For which you’re born. Thus, pursue it. Your ears are deaf, Your eyes are seared, Your limbs hardly obey you. Poor you! Poor you! Your soul has never been there! Do you know who you are now? You are a mere shadow Of some being in a mirror. Indeed, you look alike And have the same moves. No one may touch the other, Though you both think that you’re you are tangible! Know that you can neither be in contact Nor separate. Your gazes will always meet In the lands of the desperate. Each one of you Is ditched in a groove Where you’re chained With shadows and haunted with unexplained existence.

The book of shadows
Open the book of shadows And read what is written. Behold, pages are umbra, others panumbra, and all end in darkness. Scared? Shout as loud as you may But nobody will hear you. Angry? This is the goal, For which you’re born. Thus, pursue it. Your ears are deaf, Your eyes are seared, Your limbs hardly obey you. Poor you! Poor you! Your soul has never been there! Do you know who you are now? You are a mere shadow Of some being in a mirror. Indeed, you look alike And have the same moves. No one may touch the other, Though you both think that you’re you are tangible! Know that you can neither be in contact Nor separate. Your gazes will always meet In the lands of the desperate. Each one of you Is ditched in a groove Where you’re chained With shadows and haunted with unexplained existence.
