The Oblique Shadow Poem by nimal dunuhinga

The Oblique Shadow

Rating: 5.0


'Walk straight dear Master.'
He mutters.
Thank you for your advise
And I'll try my level best.
Please do not misunderstand me
As I always think of you.
You must be tired of the journey with a vagabond.
My ambition is to fulfill your welfare
And I want to release you soon friend,
If time permits?

This is a fascinating subject for a poem - the shadowy figure and lifelong companion who is only seen when the sun shines. Your final line is enigmatic, Nimal and leaves the reader wondering. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Rather chilling. But I doubt if a person can ever be separated from his shadow. Thought provoking, Nimal. Kind regards, Sandra
