Shadow Poem by Varala Anand

Shadow, forever,
Opposite to the light

Roars
When light spreads
Recedes
When the light is blown off

Increasing and decreasing
Shadow is polymorphic

If you follow,
It runs;
If you run,
It follows;
Shadow is witty

Is it an image or reflection?
Looks very similar
But no life
Shadow is a silent saint
Does it have
Heart or soul?
Neither speaks nor fights
Shadow is a trickster.

Shadow is only a sign
Doesn't stand for sight

To stand or
To visit the innermost
Only the shadow of the heart
