My Shadow Poem by Umasree Raghunath

My Shadow
Date: 21 May 2019

Waking up to the rays of sun
Putting hands up in the bed was fun
Watching the dancing shadows on the walls
As the morning thoughts silently whisper
Sitting across the desk, sometimes,
Turn back, as if someone's watching over
Waiting to call and walk with as the shadow
Everything undoubtedly stronger in a row
Instincts, Immense thoughts, Intense feelings
As innately wish that they disappear and get over
Nothing is real, just like those dancing shadows
The children walk over as they run around
Wanting to catch them, mimic them, endure
But still gives a cherishing happiness to ponder
Words that fail to register and get in!
Thoughts that refrain to stop and gel with!
Yet, not all shadows are dark and deep
Sometimes beyond sun shines, they are to keep
Making you take it with all its raw creep
And in its happiness, just lay down and weep!
Shadows, beyond the darker shades and sun shine
Keeps along with, whispering nothings but to be fine!
