Shadows

I am walking on a road on a calm night

Cool breeze is rapping trees

Which have fallen deep asleep

Street lights are dozing

Still hung on poles

Moon is playing hide and seek

My shadows turn around

To look at me from

Front – back – left – right

With great perplexity

As wanna ask

Why haven’t I slept yet?

What am I looking for?

Lalit, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will get much delight in reading and in time become familiar with your verse. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here STARTING with me- SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish.
