Shadow
There lived a man beyond the land of sun
Him and his silent friend, so I have heard.
Exploring the greens and seeds of forest
And the blues and blacks of the sea
These are not my words, it was the bard.
They walked all day on the weary road
Among the music of silence and cacophony of words
Witnessing the romance of pollen and wind
Fascinated by silver lined magician of heaven
Relieved by the darkness of the road they were heading towards.
Together they encountered the endless war
As the bolts above failed at piercing earth's shield.
Just as their own demons striking hard
Shattering the brick and mortar of their outer walls
But their will forged the invincible castle they did build.
The civilisation made a mockery of civility
As they forced to tame their serenity with convention.
They didn't run, they didn't stand firm
For protest and escape were for shades of grey
Only absolute was their truth, their conviction.
But then time took a leap and turned its back
Conspiring against their angel of bond.
As one of them fell for the truck of the scythe
And the other just vanished, smoke from ashes
Or was it a plot, to meet in a world beyond?
There wasn't any legacy left behind,
No story to tell, just another life journey.
A walk through struggles, through highs and lows
And yet their dignity had to face vandals
Was it fair, was it right, I ask thee...
