Shadow Not To Grow Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Shadow not to grow
Wednesday,29th April 2020

It is shadow
but not to be allowed
to remain in front
and make us to bear the brunt

The shadow is to be left behind
and not force us to find
if there was any blot
for us to be caught again

the day may make it long or short
it is the story or an art
of your struggle
or led by people

everything is for the cause
so think and pause
do you want the shadow to be seen large?
or is it the time to surge ahead?

it is our reflection
we know its reaction
it is for us to rise above
and sensibly behave

Hasmukh Mehta
