Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Free verse

Shadows

Shadows



Shadows of moments
lived together
still afresh as dew drops,

Memories beyond time
sway in my mind
the shadows engraved,

The brightest of days
come and go
leaving them untouched,

I chase these shadows afar
running behind
gasping for breath always,

Watch them distancing
furthermore
as I am about to reach,

The thirst thrives with hope
in a desert
mirage keeps it moving,

Shadows to my soul's heart
lengthen and nourish
no lonesomeness prevails !
