SILHOUETTE
SILHOUETTE Long shadows and reflections Of the being or his mind ? Lurking in the darkness of the dark, Only a flicker of light . Shapes entwined, a mass of black. Unfathomable, unrecognisable, From where it crept. Layers beneath of muddled thoughts, Of erased lines and distorted forms. It swells , it expands, Till it consumes all. The ray fails to pervade, For it evades, All rational, all light . It lingers, casting its spell, On the ground On the mind, And the entirety that remains. It sways, it lays, and treads along, The silhouette of the self or the soul ! -Devyashree Dutta
