illumination
we were walking down the solitary lane
from light to a dark end
we two men saw twin selves
but not in flesh
the shadows
they emerged from their mortal frames
although thinner
but didn’t hesitate to grow longer and even surpassed
as we went ahead
our shadows cherished every bit of the lightlessness
until a sudden gush of glow bathed us
we two men saw twin selves
but not in flesh
although thinner
but didn’t hesitate to grow longer and even surpassed
as we went ahead
our shadows cherished every bit of the lightlessness
