Shadow of the Past

Shadow of the past Goes on my walks Merging in crowds Holding its ground Changing my shape Sporting with light Hiding in dark A deceitful pause Haunting me again On the path of my dawn May 5, 2018

Some memories like trailing shadows will always follow us ! Never give much thought to them. At times we have to deliberately chide them away ! Resonant with human life in general.....

I feel a relation between my past and yours, Vijay. In the shadows of my mind many memories lie dormant, but ready to come into action at any moment. Regards // paul
