Shadow

The penumbra stands between the light and me

Is it sinister always, haunting, and making me miserable?

Can’t it be the other way round, making me feel otherwise?

Can there be any variation in my silhouette?

Let me think of it as my doppelganger!

Somebody whom I can daydream, yet plausible

A version, rough and tough, unlike me

Pointing to the ubiquity of my own better half!

A breathtaking shadow will it be

Imbibing the light from the sky

Arising from the dark, and playing its own music

Grooving will be the entire world!

Sometimes for a better perception

Blocking the light is a must

Like my shadow enforcing a clearer vision

To get me out of the present impasse!

Jaded by the past like a nagging child

Irked by its eerie spooky tales

I love my different shadow

Encouraging me to look beyond the ordinary.
