My Shadow

When the sun brings a pleasant morning with itself
My shadow starts fabricating itself to accompany me

When the ignited rays show their full strength on my face
My shadow cleverly hides itself behind me

When I turn my face to save myself from the scorching sunrays
My shadow slyly comes in front of me to make its presence felt

When the sun gets overhead and beams unkindly
My shadow tries to dissolve itself into my arms

When dusk comes closer and light starts to fade
My shadow lengthens itself and prepares to go away

When my nervous feet move through darkness looking for a company
My shadow smartly fuses itself into the gloom leaving me alone

Next day when the sun brings a pleasant morning with itself
My shadow again starts fabricating itself to accompany me

I don’t know why I still call that unfaithful ‘my’ shadow….
