Shadow!

There we were, staring at those

Lovely animals on the wall.

Mesmerized is the word thats close

In conveying how we felt after all.

The man whose fingers quickly moved

To support a story in a broken voice,

Never seemed to have a familiar groove.

His story was new; had a nice ploy.

The dog, the deer, the rabbit and

The snake, the tiger and crocodile

Came in that story that was so grand.

All these appeared by magic wild.

His long fingers and big palms made

many of us jealous then, I remember.

All those animals were of a black shade,

Shadows they were, many in number.

Today I couldn't see him anywhere.

No amount of search can bring him back.

Nobody but just seemed to care!

Perhaps this too is something we lack!
