The Consuming Shadow Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

The Consuming Shadow

Rating: 4.8


Let me tell you
the other way
Who said the sky is
the upper limit?

Stars I have found
Down this earth

I look down from the zenith
Ocean froths up
Who said water won't flow
upwards?

My shadow lengthens
Let it consume this light...

It's the attitude of a man that determines his orientation. Thanks a lot.
