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

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
