shadow of dusk

today on evening walk
i noted
my shadow was tall
taller than
the apparently real form,
it carried with ease
eagerly forth
the smaller girth
of me
had no fear of fall.

why had I so fret then
I thought -
to do this or that
it mattered not when
i never was
in charge of how
sun's light will fall
on stage of illusion!

Ahhh...if we only learn to walk our ways without fearing we would be traversing myriads of continents but the fact of the matter is that perhaps we succumb to our being human and thus to have anxieties, fear...
Great philosophy there in the last four lines...so true but so difficult to be just that in the real world.
