Shadows
Shadows on dim cavernous walls
Are you just figments of the mind
Or reflections of realities
In the wake of the train of life
Pursuing its ever hectic course!
Sauntering shadows on the ground
Are you outlines of human frames
Given some curious shapes by light,
Projections of the inner self
Or renderings of human souls!
Wandering shadows in the air
Dancing eerie dances in line
Are you spirits of roaming souls
Warded off from staying in peace
Or stubborn ghosts at war with earth!
Amorphous shadows in heaven
You whom human eyes cannot view
Can you see us shed pearls for you
Or feel our yearnings to hear you
From wherever you may be perched!
Hovering shadows in the space
Can you glean what future forebodes
With colossal warming apace,
Whether a global massive flood
Is awaiting humanity
Or divine rule is near ahead!
