Caught between the brilliance of the sun and the shadows it casts, this reflective haiku explores the paradox of light as both liberator and captor. It speaks to the yearning for freedom and the limits of perception, evoking the timeless struggle between visibility and obscurity.
Rising to noon’s peak,
I glimpse at the blinding light,
Caged beyond its reach.
Prompt: Write a piece inspired by the duality of light—how it reveals yet blinds, liberates yet confines. Consider themes of inner reflection, longing, and the barriers that prevent us from fully stepping into the light.
