AWAITING SHADOW

Emerges out of the light

and merges within the dark.

Though it's size changes with time

but it always remain with us.

Down to earth goes beyond the boundaries

But never crosses the sky limit.

From moulding us beyond imagination to

following our own footsteps.

It's the shadow of our own belief,

Which shapes the dimensions of 

our thinking.

Is it always two different voices 

that command our minds or

there's a third one inside us 

that rules the ultimate?

Be it a shadow good will or evil,

the one which stands out

are meant for a reason

and knowingly selected by nature.

But light can still escape through  

the dark times and put away

the hollowness of gripping hands 

from shielding us into a vaccum.

Perpetuating an odd world where

it gains a definition of normalcy,

where normal is different for 

everyone yet unique in its own.
