Shadows

Full moon showers its mercy with light
Children gather around at night
Giggling at their shadows with delight
Dainty fingers dance become fishes and unicorns

On a bone chilling stark night
Thoughts dark like the bitter black coffee 
Lonelier than the loneliest Bear
An unannounced companion came along with a tiny light!

Light and shadows on an empty street 
Feels like a game of Hide and seek 
What you show  the light is it real?
what you hide, the shadow, is that real?

He promised to be my shade like a giant tree
Also be my shadow like a Mother's grace
At once, I lost the shade and the shadow
Shadows too disappear in the darkness

I drown myself in the shadows of the past
Bleak light visible at  faraway lighthouse
Shadows of the past become oars
Oars steer the boat to light 

Game of shadows
Company of shadows
Comfort of shadows
Betryal of shadows 
Strength of shadows 

Have seen it all like a witness in a Jury
The silhouette grew big, small and dead
Me and shadows are finally amicable
In the Divine opera of light and no light!
