Sharmila Dhar Biography

A casual poetess.Wrote twenty five years ago and just returned to the arena, by the encouragement of an old friend. Feels a lot for the right and wrong in life-unable to voice it openly I hope to do so via my poems. Putting my feelings down on paper is a catharsis of sorts.Helps me immensely as an individual.Opens me up and sorts out quite a lot of confusion that was part of my emotional life.Makes me feel strong and ready to take on life. Hope to get encouraged in the process and keep at my first love-poetry.)

The Best Poem Of Sharmila Dhar

Shadows

A play of light
Fascinates a child just as much
As it would an artist
Both would call it a shadow

Life has its varied hues
Shadows form a part of life too
There comes a burst of sunshine
From behind the shadows of sorrow
Illuminating all the happy moments
Banishing the darkness

Even the human being
Is of various shades
Characters vary
There are the transparent, innocent ones
And to counterbalance we have the shadowy ones
A mix and match makes up the universe

Then there are the seasons
Summer’s burst is vivid and glaring
Winter comes with it days of gloom
Shadows appear in it too

As long as there is light
There shall be darkness
And as long as these co-exist
So shall shadows
