Shadows

It was the most amazing sunset I have ever seen. The intensity and light was just too perfect to calm my soul down. It would be as if a powerful symphony was quieting down, becoming more emotional and beautiful as it dies down. But suddenly i turned back towards the other side, and I saw a very familiar shape. Whispering in my ear that you will see him again. 

I was alone that evening. Its not what I like or usually do, but sometimes you just feel like walking away from everything. There are times when no one understands you. Every conversation looks unfamiliar. Every single word you hear seems confusing. When there is no one around to talk to.  When you truly understand that you are alone. But than you turn around and see that familiar shape standing just next to you. We call him our shadow and most of the time we ignore its existence. 

He's always there - the thing I like about him. Where ever you go, he follows. Never asks for reasons or favors. Never leaves us alone. May be the only true friend we have. May be the guardian angel they sometimes talk about. Always watching over us. Talking to us in so many ways. Grows bigger just to show that he is there and always be with us whenever the sun goes down. Teaching us the importance of light and darkness. I hope this is why God said -

" Let there be light, and there was light. (and shadows) "

अनंत से पहले, अंत के आगे ... धुआं ही तो है ... भोले का तांडव सम्ह्झाये, भभूत में ज्योत जलाये... सब धुआं ही तो है ... मोहब्बत की गरमाई से गहन, जुदाई की तपिश से तपन... धुआं ही तो है ... म्र्युतय को मुर्चित करे, अमृत को करे अमर... धुआं ही ओत है ... अंधकार को अँधा करे, प्रकाश को करे परे... धुआं ही तो है ... सूर्य की तेज किरणों से तपित, चन्द्रमा की चांदनी से रोशन... धुआं ही तो है ... अनंत से पहले, अंत के आगे ... धुआं ही तो है ... भोले का तांडव सम्ह्झाये, भभूत में ज्योत जलाये... सब धुआं ही तो है ... -= बम भोलेनाथ =-

" You haven't learnt anything until you learn monsters have nightmares too... " and I looked up to a gentleman sitting in the dark all along. The sliding blood made a drop eventually and fell in the pool of itself beneath my feet to break the silence. Bare feet, I walked towards him slowly in anticipation but what i dint noticed was the momentary pattern I was creating below in the warm, calm and still fluid. It was the darkest corner of that dark room and all I was able to see was the spark at the very tip of the cigarette he was smoking, which was teasing me more then anything by glowing a bit harder every time the gentleman took a puff. "You did great. Killing a child is not an easy task my friend !" he said. Everything I had done till this point of time flashed right after my eyes as he took another cruel break. He was the creator, the angle over my shoulder and the devil inside me.  I can feel myself disappearing and for a change this time ...
