Shadow



You walk with me…

Sometimes behind

Sometimes ahead of me

And sometimes with me

I don’t mind

You don’t talk to me

Never answer to what I say

Just listening and walking

Following me all the time

I do mind

Why can’t we be friends?

Your silence is deafening

Your presence

Is always welcome

But why don’t you talk to me?

I have no one but you by my side

Will you speak to me?

When things get lonely

When nights are lonesome

Or shall I only befriend the stars?

I see they are always moving …

Running away from me

I try talking to them…

But they run away like the passing clouds

Oh! Shadow, At least you don’t run away.

We can share our joys and sorrows

Be friends till death does us apart

So here I am reading this magic spell

And swirling my magic wand round and round

Oh! Shadow, come to life Oh! Shadow, come to life

A sparkling light oozes out of the wand…

Falls on the shadow which is dark as night

A voice emerges out from the transparent light

My body thuds on to the ground so deep

Awakening me from the dream complete.

Beautiful flow but you faltered somewhere in between…
As the saying goes,”the most beautiful songs are always the saddest ones”.And your sad thoughts rings the same truth…

A really beautiful poem on “Shadow”.
Shadow is always your “silent” companion. It is there even when you don’t see it. The moment it speaks, it will be no more a shadow. We will have to give it a different name.
