I just walked through
The same maze of passages
which are still echoing
with the silent tread of your feet.
Wondering why my pace
had so slowed down
Puzzled and at a loss
I stopped and looked around
I had just heard something
someone laugh, someone cry.
I looked behind me
to find no one there
I thought it was you,
But it was only your shadow,
The shadow you left with me,
The shadow of your memories,
The shadow that follows me around
Watches me when I break down.
I just rushed past
The same beautiful garden
Where you smiled amongst roses
where the wind whispered your name
wondering why my pace
had so slowed down
puzzled and at a loss
I turned and looked around
I had just seen someone
Standing under "that" tree
someone squinting his eyes
To keep out the glare of the sun
someone smiling warmly,
greeting me a welcome.
I started towards that tree,
ablaze in autumn colors
But stopped short
To find no one there
The tree standing majestically
Seemed to sympathize with me
It knows, it feels
with what troubles I deal,
That your shadow follows me around
Watches me when I break down.
I'm lying on the grass
Watching an early evening moon,
I see your face shining,
from amongst the stars
Wondering why my thoughts
had been abruptly put out,
I quickly sit up
To again look and turn about
what had I heard?
A twig crushed?
A leaf crunched?
Surprised I shake my head
To see the wind playing tricks on me
A gloom sets on my heart
I realize that you "did" depart
But what can I do
When I know,
That your shadow follows me around,
Watches me when I break down.
I was standing on a beach, watching
Waves and breaking tide on the sea-shore,
I watched the setting sun,
In a trance that, that place had spun,
wondering why my thoughts
had been abruptly put out
puzzled and at a loss
I just turned myself about,
I had seen your profile beside me
complimenting the beautiful scene
Then what had gone wrong?
was it only a dream?
surprised I shake my head
To break the magic memories had spun
where the sea and waves
meet the horizon
I see some birds disappearing
Did you go with them........?
The setting sun reminds me
of my fate,
I sighed , I cried
Whispered my sorrow to the wind and the tide,
I can't get rid of memories
My foolish perceptions & fantasies and that
That your shadow follows me around
"Never" comforts me when I break down. |
