THE SHADOWS DANCE WITH LIGHT

(poem by Soumya)

The shadows dance with light,

maintaining a sense of balance

of day and night.

With each revolution,

Striking  stability in the midst of life.

With each revolution,

A tale unfolds, both of dark and light

which are entwined

In the dance of shadows, life defined.

I am the tigress, fierce and bold,

Yet within my heart, fears unfold.

I am a creature with two souls entwined - one wild, one mild.

In my eyes, there lies a storm,

A tempest raging, forever warm. Beneath the moon's gentle gaze,

Lies a fear that haunts my days.

A duality that grips my soul,

A battle fought, a never-ending toll.

As the sun rises, casting its glow,

I emerge from shadows, letting it show.

The world sees me,

A fierce protector,

A symbol of strength,

A fiery director.

But when darkness falls, and stars ignite,

I retreat into solitude,

away from sight.

A scared, disconnected spirit,

yearning for peace,

A tigress lost, seeking release.

I am a creature In the forest's heart,

I roam alone casting a silent spell.

Fear casted of me in their hearts

In the end  fear prevails

ultimately of being misunderstood

Each creature’s longing for connection unalloyed

And life revolves and

The shadows dance with light,

maintaining a sense of balance

of day and night
