Sonnet of My Shadow

I was so lost in a mid-day dream,

I heard my shadow scream!

He was moving all right, while I was still;

He was breathing all right – I could feel.

Suddenly, he sat by me and held my hand,

Like a sea wave whispers to the sand.

He pleaded to me that he wants to be free!

He cannot take all the grief in me.

I asked – how could you know ‘I’m sad’

He said – shadow of my heart really bleeds so bad.

He gave me a proposal to be the shadow of him;

But, how could I fake me by a paint of gleam?

I found a drop of tear on his shadowy eye;

Who was crying then – was it I?
