Shadows Never Evolve.

by Arvind Passey on Feb 2, 2011 • 11:36 AM 15 Comments

I’m sure you’ve never heard of a shadow
behaving intelligently
though they love to appear
in deep thought!
They peep out when they ought not to
curiously caress people
make worlds seem darker
and rush over words without reading a bit!
Now what I don’t like a bit
about shadows is that they’re never
still.
Or that they’re still
going yada yada yada over nothing
or getting intimidated by nothings!
They’re never sane.
They’re never still.

Wonderful musing…..!

Especially the two 'still'- '…….about shadows is that they’re never

still.

Or that they’re still

going yada yada yada over nothing

or getting intimidated by nothings!'

?'they are never sane, they're never still' gently make me realize life is not still.it is audiovisual..shadow! larger reminds me scope of hidden potential to grow..shadow..smaller again gives realization of my existence..its negligible!!…. ….Shadows never evolve..because it want me to evolve…….in dark..it does not leave me…rather hugs me so tightly…and teach me….you shud also merge you.. your true being….once your dear ones are in dark..hug them tightly…hold them forever…..and just wish …oh light don't come…else..have to be parted again….but shadows cant be selfish…….
