Behind the Shadow

A Poem.

And there behind the shadow lies the truth,

Peeping in disguise

Out there at the world.

As if to know, if the Self has changed or the World

Or both are just playing hide and seek.

And there behind the shadow lies the despair.

Standing out in agony

Because the belief remains unscathed,

In that deep dark night

Where the darkness tones the blaze.

And is hushed up by the glaring day.

And there behind the shadow lies the hope

Standing out with a subtle smile of its own.

In that pink morning

With bubbling rays of sun blossoming in the sky.

Ready to take a chance

In that new morning full of thoughts.

And there behind the shadow lies nothing.

Not the truth, neither despair nor hope.

But only, void envisioning future;

Reflecting on the past.

The thought of the spare moment.

And there behind the shadow lies everything.

Everything that cannot be seen in light.
