The Language Of Shadows Poem by Bharati Nayak

We have a subconscious realm in our mind
Whether we like or not, our experiences are inked on it
Some of our experiences are profound and they are etched deep
Some are of no relevance and may be obliterated
Many people and events come into our life
Some are lovable and we cherish their friendship
Behavior of some may not be to our liking
Our experiences and interactions with others
Are like lessons we gather in our growing
When we face any crucial juncture and have to take a decision
We may recall our past experiences and shadows in the realm subconscious
We may engage in dialogue with shadows of people who are no more
We try to recall the good advice of parents or teachers or some one we trust
We may seek the wisdom inscribed in scriptures
Or the sayings of sages
We may engage in dialogue with our alter ego to know
What is good or what is bad
Here our Conscience is the guide to choose the right path.
