"The Shadow"

Sat down by the river side,
Happened to see the shadow saying lie
The picture was hazy and the light was about to die
Not ready to face the truth, I was shy.

The day got over but I was hell bound,
and the thought kept coming around.
Could listen to my heart pounding with a peculiar sound,
I was lost but did not want to be loud.

The next day was cloudy and it was about to rain,
Mustered my energy and went by the river side again,
To look out for a new identity and to be sane,
Unfortunately saw a lost soul about to be drained.

The truth was bitter than what I had thought,
But I knew I could fight the situation out,
Wanted to forget the past and the callous ghost,
Rediscovering the soul looked within the coast.

Things were beautiful now and the picture was clear,
The roads were wider and the ears could hear,
All the eyes were open and there was no tinge of tear,
Without a doubt, everyone looked dear.

The light was brighter and the belly had a new fire,
With an open vision, the destiny was in new attire,
The mind was clear and the heart was no more a liar,
A new soul was born with selfless and endless desire.
