***My Shadow***
I walked like a rabbit wiggling around a bunch of fresh carrots,
I was a snail when I run;
"And the thirst of water opened my mouth widely."
I walked like a rabbit. "Oh! i'm jaded says my shadow."
The beauty of the day kept me going,
And behold: my shadow was nowhere to be found.
I wondered and I saw the sky approach to me,
And the smile of the sky gave me the conviction I needed.
And I leaned against a big tree in the shadow of the forest,
And it sang a melodic song to my ears,
I couldn't help dancing like a panda,
And the echo of the song kept banging to my hearing,
"For the love of the song had put my mind and thought in captivity,
Still, my shadow was nowhere to be found."
I stumbled to the destination and;
Yet, my shadow was nowhere to be found,
"I entered the destination;
There covertly my shadow, peeping me from the edge of the window,
And I said soliloquistically that my shadow knew my destination before me."
