We - Shadows.
Ephemeral entities envisioning eternity,
Unreal but true
We keep chasing the dreams,
Hoping that a day will come and
We will be nineties and hundreds.
How early have we forgotten of
Those who died in their -teens and -ties age?
We all, are shadows, the fading shadows,
Awake when it is the morning and
Fading away in the dark nights,
When the night comes for each,
No one knows.
For the night isn't as the closing of the day,
It's a night that could come in the morning, noon, or later.
Shadows with dreams tied to their necks,
And as life moves, it moves,
And as life stops, it stops.
Shadows, with different shapes and phases,
With different case and faces,
In different cave and places,
We all are shadows.
Only the light reveals us and when light passes,
We follow. We are subjects to one,
And we are one, ourselves,
For each man has just a shadow
When he stands in undivided light,
We are shadows of eternity-
We only dream it, we don't live it.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Wooooooo!this is deep @olawalium ...
We are nothing but just mere shadows, If all humans could understand this then we all will start living right
We are only existing because the light is still reflecting on our shadows, that means light signifies "life" I guess, correct me if I am wrong
And when the light fades away, the uncertainty of night comes in and that is where our shadows will no longer be visible, we seize to exist
That's why it is important to live right and keep our aspirations positive
You captured it so well and I admire your deep understanding of this. Thank you for your valuable contribution. Deeply appreciated.
Another deep poem from you!
Your poem always bring me back to the reality of life.
Life is like a shadow truly, fading away in the dark and resurfaces in light.
May we not fade away just like the shadows in the dark without impacting positively to the world.
Thanks for this beautiful piece.
Thank you so much, my friend. It reminds me of the popular quote by Shakespeare on life...we are like a walking shadow sometimes...we just have to birth meaning to our existence.
What a great piece of writing, it reminds me many times of the phrase that many times we hide in our own shadows but if we did that we would be cowards, we must always look for the light and illuminate our environment so that it comes out of that darkness, thanks for sharing friend ♥
We all have shadows and we all try to hide in it...you are right my friend. It's all left to us to birth meaning to our existence. Thank you, brother.
Of course we can, only we can change all that to get out of the darkness we are in.
Of course it does, it is in the hands of us with God's blessing to be able to come out of that darkness to make others shine, hug my friend ♥
