    SHADOWS

    Shadows, shadows, big or small, I see them all around
    Kissed by the morning sun, they come out all over the ground
    We seek shade in some of these shadows from rain and sun
    Clouds make them disappear; they come out with the sun

    These clouds are reflections, dark, they stand still, walk or run
    They grow longer and deeper, the sun moves down the sky
    Aiming to reach the evening sun, these shadows merge in darkness
    Blessed by the sun, they lived long or short, their day is over

    Come another day, new shadows spring with joy in all directions
    Taken for granted these shadows, I find in them our reflections
    Blessed by the God like the rising sun, we live to see our day
    At our evenings, God takes us with Him; some other sees a new day

    Suresh, Good Poem. I had to read couple of times to understand it. Shadows are our twin. We never can get rid of it. Sometimes it is big and other time is small. But we are happy and proud of it in any shape because it is "ours".
    I wish we all can treat people like that. How ever they are, we must give them respect and like them. The last line of your blog made me think. Like we share the Sun with others without even knowing it, we msut try to share peace and happiness with others. Then the world will become better like John Lennon's song "Imagine".
    Happy New Year!!!!!

    Thanks for your feedback

    What i conveyed through the poem was that like the shadows that are created via the sun in all shapes and sizes, we are created by the God
    When the sun sets, the day of the shadows ends into night and out comes fresh shadows the next day.
    Similar is ours, when our life ends, its time for other to enjoy their life by the grace of God.

    cheers

    Very nicely written. It was easy to visualize the picture your words were painting of the arch of life, until finally we too blend with darkness.
