I travel in the form of a shadow…
My shadow falls on cotravellers…
And reflects back to me…
Sometimes I find images…
Sometimes I find mirages…
I fail in identifying which is what,
And choose wrong route!
Destination laughs at me,
And says, it is not easy to reàch me
Because I am the consciousness!
She says, you always lived in ignorance,
by thinking that identification of shadow is a task!
She says, you can reach me only if,
You can merge the shadow into you!

How did I manage to hide larger part of myself from me all these years?
After knowing that hiding is its hobby, how do I trust the hidden me now?
What if my mistrust starts reinforcing me to hide myself more and more?
Thank you for throwing me out of your nest!
I used to believe that I am an egg
And you are the nest!
I tried my level best to grow into baby bird!
But I failed and failed and failed again!
You were unhappy!
Finally you have thrown me out of your nest!
and thank you for throwing me òut of your nest!
I fell on the soil!
I started growing like a plant…
I realized…
I am a plant!
No No…I am a tree!
I had been growing and growing and growing again!
Nothing can stop my growth,
and thank you for throwing me òut of your nest!
Now I know how suffocating your nest was!
I grow in open places!
My breathe is so strong that it can shake thousands of nest!
And people call it wind
I am not an egg and you can’t hatch me!
I am a giant tree that can accommodate thousands of nests!
and thank you for throwing me òut of your nest!
I travel in the darkest nights to find light!
I travel in the coldest winters to find fire!
I travel in the deepest oceans to find air!
I travel in the mountain ranges to find ground!
Make me the watchman of your locked empty house!
Make me the author of your blank pages book!
Make me the owner of your dead stone heart!
