Departed Poem by Deepa Madhu

If life is a road of shadows
Can it challenge the sun of experiences?
Which is above it
I doubt…..
Is this colourless world of images
Speaking about a colourful world of dreams
I doubt….
Can the fate of wind
Can alter the wings of victory?
I doubt…
Let my shadowy doubts
Spread through this road of destiny…
Walk over and above it mate
Don’t look down…
Then you will see the vertex where your
shadows merges with mine…
For shadows are of same class, caste and creed…
Citizens of colourless world of countless images..
Our shadows will tell us
“we are not the DEPARTED once”
