My Shadow

You are my shadow.

Who followed me down the meadow.

We enjoyed bird chirping.

We enjoyed sun gleaming.

After sky turns dusky

Your appearance became hazy.

I searched you hither and thither.

You fade off whither ?

A fair-weather friend you are.

Or Illusion to my vision you are?

Behind me you sustained Sun, rain,storm,

But left me alone when it is dark and calm.

The lesson you taught me here,

Nothing is permanent in this sphere.

Love, money,power,friends,relations,

Useless, worthless,aimless,meaningless obsessions.

Truth is only, Souls are immortal,

My shadow taught me life's greatest moral.
