Poem : The shadow

~Dhara Prabha~

House at the midst of the forests’ tray
Hush and alone nauseating all the day
Seems cast off a long time in a way
Lights up whole always in gloomy array

Makes a shadow behind hanging shutter
Mystery with cents people inside gather
Man in the stage leading those in gesture

A dark quiet night, owl on a branch of tree
Sparkling eyes running over and there free
The leaves clapping in swift blowing breeze

Bats Flatter guarding around house and trees
The crickets singing at corner, no one sees
House, in dusk, shelter for the planners wary
Left alone for day, parting around in dowry
World’s sleeping, shadow wakes up, no chary

Planning for the day, leave before early morn
No one knows where they fade away in turn
And how on the whole be seen at night’s fun
Silence nightmare being fate of house in earn
