Shadows of the past

Shadows..
They follow me
Where ever I go
Most of the day

They haunt me
Disturbing my privacy
They are attached
Smothering me

But, o sun, the lord
Aren't you the culprit?
Making me the victim
For all your hide n seek?

Again, is there a day
Without you?
Bright days and
A feeling of life without you?

And there Comes
The clouds, once in a while
Giving a break
From my shadows

Followed by rain
As if to wash away
The dark contour
Feeling of nothing happened

Yet, I yearn for you
O my sun
For the sunshine you bring
And the warmth
No one else can give

there are shadows of
Trees and houses
Giving the coolness
And a relaxing feeling

Shadows that bring
Joy and pleasure
Shadows that a break
To scorching sunlight

Shadows that
Bring relief
Shadows which
Makes me creative

They are part of me
And I am part of them
There is no them without me
And I am here because of them what I am today!

Shadows..
Shadows..

The Journey Tread!

I stand here on the road
And look back and watch
The path I have walked

I see the shining asphalted road
With the beautiful curves
Running far and far
Touching the horizon

Beyond a point
There is no visibility
I could recollect the potholes
And the bumpy rides

Ah! Those mud roads
And the slush which
Slowed me down during rains

Some parts, where there
Was no road
And my wanderings
In search of one

I have walked thru these roads with
Bright and sunny days
Rainy and thunderstorm ones
Chill winds and biting cold

Yes, I have come a long way
Have dropped my fears on the way
Picked up courage from side roads
Confident & learned to tread the journey

I explore and experience
The roads and the unpredictability
Enjoy the journey
Not bothering about destination

Learn on the roads
Enjoy the weather
Experience the journey
And tread tread tread..
