  I was all unaccompanied in my way

  enjoying the scenario of
  this solid and elongated way

  Contented

  in whatever i had got,
  But,

  all of sudden
  Happen to see 
  My shadow,

  which was mine but entirely different than me,

  I was blissful 
  and made it my friend..

  and began to fantasized a new 
  ...from'' top to bottom''

   A different world...

  when i used to be gloomy-
  ''it sang for me''

  when i used to be happy-
  ''it shared ecstasy with me''

  when i used to be angry -
  It sat ''beside me -waiting for saccharine smile-on my face''

  Now i find me myself 
  in it...

  being its component 
  everlastingly...
  I am 
  My own shadow, now...
  
  
  
  
  [this poem is dedicated to my mom ,dad ,bhotu,and to my child-Ish friend]

A very strong poem of life and family. We are built by experience and example. Good people will show us the way to peace and happiness. I like the use of shadows. We are shadows of many. I hear my father and Grandfather voice when I speak. Thank you for a excellent poem.

I love this poem about your shadow. It goes everywhere with you and experiences the things you go through right along with you. We never are truly alone. Great creative and descriptive write.

What an interesting concept. A plausible abstract
of a shadow being sort of a guiding light to find
ones way in life...Nicely done..

Shadows make believe friends, as well as, spirits thought to be near us, guides if you will. They all have a common connection with us. Our desire to belong. I often visit my favorite beach, the one I went to after my Father Died and it is there I find solace and communion with him..

Shadows are the best friends..they follow us every where ...Ridges and in furrows...happiness and in sorrows...
An excellent write
