His Shadow
One fine day in the daylight,
When I saw him on the road walking,
I saw a counterpart behind him,
Felt so many things are concealed,
His eyes were unlike any ones,
Light blue with a hint of grey,
Has dark brown, shaggy hair,
And a hallmark with scruffy beard,
Looking like he is speaking to oneself,
Walking on the deserted road,
With no burbling sound around,
But it just felt so elegant,
Having a partner when alone,
His shadow is just beautifully allied,
Then I turned towards,
Looked at myself in different ways.

I used to try and catch my shadow as a child. There is something alluring about shadows and I enjoyed this wonderful poem Shreya. Take care.
