A Shadow Walking In A Shadow's Trail Poem by Aman Biswas

The light That faded before sight
He came so close to
The Chill of the winds
Made him shiver


Lunging for his life
He chased his shadow
Instead going the way he should
He ended up going in deeper
Deeper into the veil of darkness


He had a light
It was lost, nowhere to be found
There was light
Not his but, he was too kind
To steal it, rather he died


Racing for his life
He ran, ran towards what he knew


Random footsteps scared him
He ran, leaving his calm behind
Letting his accursed mind guide his actions


He ran searching for light
Ending up finding a reflection
Of what he saw, of what he should be seeing


Lies encompassed his mind
Like the darkness embraced his sides


The only way was back he realized
So this time he walked
Walked knowing he has nothing else to lose
Not while he is still lost himself
Decided to be lost himself
And decided to run only when he is himself
To lose himself again, and to experience the fun yet again.
