MY SHADOW!

A poem by Abid A. Kazi

I see my shadow

While walking down the street

Sometime big and sometime small

I looked small as well as tall

Found my shadow to be a good companion as I walked

I almost tempted to talk

On the winding road I saw myself divided into half

Shadow was being formed as I laughed

My destination was coming closure and closure

Shadow began to shrink like a sleep for the drowsier

I had a good company as long as it lasted

One think did prove as nothing forever lasted

Love to enjoy your shadow as long as you can

On a cloudy day it vanishes as if it never was born

Art always protrudes as nature expands

All what we see on the canvases is very grand
