Blurred shadows, muffled echoes
Shackles and chains hold them down
Sights and sounds their only Truth
Prisoners to a dark world underground
The cave is escapable
The chains can be snapped
They can learn a new reality
Fear and ignorance keep them trapped
An enlightened few rise above
At first blinded by the light
They are unaccustomed to this Reality
In awe if a new world so bright
Once accepting of the sun
Which put to shame his native thoughts
He descends back to teach the others
But more shadows and echoes was all he taught
The line between light and dark, appearance and reality
Some live forever in darkness, while others rise to clarity
Tay! Good job on your sonnet! The form was a little off, like an extra couplet but I still enjoyed it. I liked the line "sights and sounds their only truth."
