My Shadows Poem by Jay P Narain

Shadows of me,
follow me from dawn to dusk,
Even in bleak or moonlit nights,
It does not get lost.

When I am sad and crying,
you feel my tears before it bites the dust,
When I am joyful and happy,
You are celebrating with me merrily.

When I am in love and walk with lover hand in hand,
you bring her shadow along, and make me feel good,
When I lose my lover and sometime think I can't see my shadow again,
You are quietly there comforting my lonesome soul.

When I am lonely, I go to a bar and drink to forget my woes,
You are there with me sharing my dark moments of life,
When I walk out and stagger under the moon lit skies,
you give me company and sooth me with your silvery disguise.

When I die, I am sure you will be with me,
when loved one will be mourning, you will be comforting them by my side,
If I get buried, you will be buried with me,
If I get cremated, your ashes will mingle with me.
