Sudipta’s poem delves into the captivating dance of shadows that gracefully weave through bleak landscapes, exclusively for Different Truths.
Something that follows me Everywhere I go A faithful fellow In the bright daylight It grows bigger than its size It glows in the shimmering dawn When the twilight covers the orange sky In the sombre grassland The shadow is cast close to the streetlight Like the lofty cliff of a mountain high Shadows lie softly in the green light Silvery rays reflect in the droplets of the sea A shadowless, desolate, cloudy sky stands lonely sometimes in dreams, ghostly shadows lie With the whispering wind It vanishes in the dark sky By playing hide and seek, in a new morn Again, shadows appear, encircling beauty! Often, we bury the shadows of grief In the pages of a bygone age...
