Shadows Of Life Poem by C. P. Sharma

Shadows Of Life

Rating: 5.0


Standing in the Hall of Fame
As the dark shadows of life
Through its latticed windows
We peep the patterned eternity

Through the multi-color glasses
Of its dome we see the light
As the Truth trampled into
Our choicest patterns and hues

The Hall of Fame collapses fast
Patterns and hues submerge at last
Suddenly the shadows of life blast
We awaken into white radiance vast.

Are we alive or the shadows of life
Or the programmed toys with struggle and strife?

We created our own fear of the shadows.Life is an open field, needing us to cultivate, into a vast plantation.Well written piece Sharma.

This is an exceptional poem, CP. Your final couplet in particular leaves the reader saying to herself: 'Now why didn't I think of that? ' You have a great gift for phrasing and the spiritual intelligence that underpins your work shines through the lines. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
