COLORFUL SHADOWS

 As a small child.. we all feared shadows and darkness.. like to say they were all waiting to engulf you into endless fears of whatnot sort of it.... !!!
This is a small poetry from a child who recites it in sweet innocence... a child who sees life beautiful... minus the sciences, reality and facts... plainly loving oneself and speaking the world that it lives in...filled with colors.. filled with joy.. filled with crystal clear heart and purity unstained...

 here's how it goes....

Can i mix a few colors in my shadow...!!
it makes me feel sad when i see them dark
Can i splash the joy I'v got,
for i feel my shadow deserves a lot...... :)

Can i run my paintbrush and decorate that...
which  will make my shadows look bright and attract,
all the happiness and scorching liveliness I'v bought
from all the natures lap and warmth abstract....

Can I actually, lean across and cheer my shadow up,
so that I see them scarlet in laughter
bursting and adding more meaning to start..
and set them free to cheer the other lot...


Can i share some light that blessed my face
and make my shadows feel its grace.
Can I brush my hair and borrow an affair
to decorate my shadows to add sparkling glare...

Why doesn't this happen I wonder so hard,
that I light my shadow and never let it live apart....
carry it with me so close to my heart
and grace its presence like a beautified art....


My shadow replied with a stoned heart
That it never was meant to live like I thought
for only the enlightened minds can be
unified with the shadow and a physical being....... :)
