(The Prize-winning entry in the Literary Warriors Group Contest. The subject of the contest was “परछाइयां” /Shadows”.)
☆
The sun cast variable shadows,
As it became purple and deeper
Descending sharply
On the placid lake
For its daily repose.
Clouds stood restful
In the skies above,
Even as I recounted
The happy day that was..
The evening shadows slithered and
Coalesced into sheets of darkness
And engulfed us in a strange
Moonless night.
Cirrus clouds frolicked
In the skies above,
even as I thought
We were happy.
By evening,
The slivers of shadows
coalesced into a
sheet of darkness
that engulfed the Earth
Around us.
Suddenly, in the dark, I saw
We were just pretending.
