Poem
My room was holding me captive
I felt like I was dead, when all I wanted was to be alive
It was nearly two in the morning
Except for me, the whole world was busy sleeping

Or love making, or even lost in a sweaty embrace
I felt like now, no more the world would I be able to face
The weight of life felt heavy
I wanted to break the routine's monotony

I got out of bed and went out into the night
I live close to a mountain, having a river by its side
How lovely was this dark sight
I felt like I was sitting right by the Lord's abode

The winds caressed my skin
Shadows to me seemed to be saying
Be not scared of us, we mean you no harm
Rather, we wish you would see our charm

See you, we are also part of creation
So why do you fear us, do we imply damnation
Do we imply that somewhere does be Heaven and somewhere else, Hell
That someday, somewhere, you shall be judged, yes you shall

I sat and looked at the shadows
Ghosts seemed to be dancing, lost in their own sorrows
I wanted to be comforted
But only my tears came, even if they were unwanted

Scared was I not,
Rather, I felt lost
Life did not explain everything
Like why does light and shadows do be side by side, dancing!

Shadows, hiding my broken stories
Shadows, bearing my hidden scars
Shadows, to them, on this day, at this time, I do bear out my soul
Shadows, pray, I wish God Himself would answer my endless call

Wanting to be free 
I removed my clothes and basked in my own nudity
Shadows did come and enveloped my body
Shadows did lift me up and held me in their custody

Shadows being none but a complete mystery
For I woke up in my bed
I woke up feeling like the shadows I had never tempted
Why, now shall I only hope that the world shall believe my story!

For shadows do scare me not
Shadows do be made of warmth!
Shadows, of the dark Devil, do be not
Shadows, I strongly believe, do be made of warmth!
