Only to realise that it is the path that had left its footprint on me.
I took for granted my shadow that I had dragged along with me all this while
Only to discover a trembling self find solace in the shadows that I had given birth to.
I searched for a glimpse of me in the image in the mirror
Only to find it peering back at me with unrecognizing eyes, in a quest for itself.
I watched in awe the shadows dancing to the tune of its fire
Only to wonder if the origin of light is darkness itself.
I wanted to leave my footprints in all the paths trodden
But sometimes it's beautiful to let the path leave it's footprints on my heart
Never to be washed away by the waves of time.

Some times it is beautiful to be a shadow !
The shadow has no age, rosy.
It grows tall and short again and again, yet you never loose it.
Happy Easter !
beautiful....

@ Mathew..

The last two stanzas are really awesome!!
You're good. I don't usually read poetic stuff cause, um well, it's not usually poetic. But this was good.
:) :O :D :P :( :-B
Ignore the emotes. That's just Ted being himself. He doesn't have a mind of his own so he tries to make up for it by using emotes.
It's a lot less annoying than the time he tried to make up for it by making squeaky sounds.
Wow..! So much of self discovery in those words..! Nice lines, ROse..!
With Best Regards,
Srijith.
Wow nice wordings.. beautiful poem..:)

Rose , How true :). More than the footprints that we leave it is the memories that the path motivates us
Really beautiful. :)) You have no idea how wide I'm smiling right now. I read the post yesterday, but was in a hurry. So decided to come back again and spend some time with the lines once again. Needless to say, was smiling as I read and re-read (and re-read) each line.

3DRZOH write more, thanks.
the lines are beautiful though you could have saved that last stanza...it kind of destroys the spell with the break in number of lines per stanza
but the poem is wonderful
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
