Darkness, She And Shade Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

Playing throughout the day,
We could not know when the light went away;
People returned to rest after daylong work,
But, we became more active,
Perhaps! It is in the darkness
We understood each other more,
Closer than ever before,
Penetrating the souls of each other.

Darkness brought us all the happiness
We got all the joy in ourselves;
Sometimes, thought the world would be better
If this darkness lingers,
We wished the time to stand still
And the day time to move faster!

Again, in the darkness, I lost
All the things, I valued most.
Searched desperately, day and night
Perhaps the good times, never come back.

From that day, I recognized my shade,
I found her as if changed to the same.
Following me, moving with me
Makes me feel that we are inseparables.
