Walking on the street, <br />and my two shadows walk beside me, <br />I walk while they crawl, <br />A distance apart, but they reside in me.. <br />My two shadows walk beside me... <br /> <br />I am quiet and my shadows quieter, <br />One is black and the other lighter, <br />Difference b/w them can't be seen by eyes, <br />But if I only knew how to act wise, <br />'Coz I'm still confused which one to choose, <br />Is it better to burn or to diffuse, <br /> <br />I think and think and think, <br />and my shadows take a decision, <br />It's the end of the road, <br />and they merge into one, <br /> <br />Seems its better to carry the layers, <br />than fling the ashes, <br />It thickens the conscience when life crashes, <br /> <br />Now it's the end of the street, <br />Beside me.. my shadow still creeps, <br />I walk, it crawls, <br />I stand, it falls, <br />I believe in it and take it the air, <br />My life breathes.......<br /><br />Apurva Jain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-shadows-3/
