BEHIND THE SHADOWS

Behind The Shadows

    It was about 2 pm. A bright day that hid almost nothing. Every nook and corner was visible. But each bright object hid something on its back with its own 'shadow'. A poor mother working hard to feed her child came to my mind.
 
   These shadows revealed infinite  truths. A man's shadow I saw on the street has something to convey. I saw a gentle man standing near me. He may had a poor background. Every successful person have a story of hardships to say.

   Nature's endless lecture gives shadows power. I remembered the words of Martin Luther King-"Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see". Every human has shadows. Rich and poor alike. White and black both have black shadows. It stands for equality. When a rich man look behind to his shadow, he will boast no  more. That black humane shape follow him everywhere. But definitely not all the time. Thus,they are not substantial things like all the power and pelf we have now.

    It is not a bodyguard but a good companion. Shadow of a tree can provide shade to many from hot sunlight. By the time,that  gentle man was disappeared from me. Almost all the people around me have left. But I was not alone. My shadow was with me as an intimate friend. I started walking through the pavement.

'That black twin of mine too followed me' .
