A shadow speaks…

Why you are going away from me?

I have asked you the same question many a times. Is it due to my dark colour that you don’t mind me or is it due to my lengthening and shortening nature? But, from the heels up to the head I am like you, only like you, even while my shape is changed very often.

Whenever I try to reach you, you run away from me. You always keep me in sadness and laugh at me while I am in darkness. You never wanna save me from this dark world.

But why don’t you understand that if I was not there, you would have already been embraced by pure darkness? If I was not there, no one would have been with you as no one could see you. While I am there, there will be light upon your face.

You never know, that I am always with you. I could never leave you alone.

How could you keep your eyes shut upon me even while being a light lover? Will you switch off that dim light too, just to kill me?

No, you can’t do that, because that brightness was much dominant over your negligence upon me.  You never know that the brighter the lit, the closer I am to you. I will be there with you till you die. And no one else will be there with you from start to end.

This is the translated version of my yesterdays post ഒരു നിഴലിന്‍റെ ആത്മഗതം
