The Shadow Speaks.. Poem by Rajendra padhi

. THE SHADOW SPEAKS.......

The candle burns at night
Its blue flame where I flood around,
My shadow is bloodless to speak
Knowing the brightness
So short to live,
I was also burnt in the day
In a scorching river of rays
In greed and depravity
Ceasing in its last glimmer.

My sky with stars and moon also melts
The wisdom is mocked as smoky,
It is dim and silent
Like the mind in hard days,
The sticky pain limps the heart
The prison will be empty.

The flame suddenly leaps
My shadow mourns black,
All reflections go out
I was mingled in its curly smoke
