When The Shadow Of Man Departs Poem by Yewande Adedokun

When The Shadow Of Man Departs

Rating: 4.8


This is when you no longer have a star in your skies
When you are everything and you don't know what you are
This is when you sleep at sunrise and your soul wakes in the dark
When you have no lesson to learn and you put yourself out for pain
Then the shadow of man in you has departed a long time ago.

No star in your skies, yióu are everthing but u do not know what or who you are. A realtiy of life put in terms that are sad. Love and ist mysteries. Absence of the loved one And the struggles there after… Well painted picture of such a situation. Thank you dear poetess. tony

It is indeed a challenging situation when a person is lonely by choice and absolutely content. This is when you no longer have a star in your skies Then the shadow of man in you has departed a long time ago.
