The Whispering Shadow
written by: Bhakta Bahadur Basnet
I feared my shadow in the night,
it whispered things that dimmed my light.
I spoke to thoughts that would not cease,
their whispers stole my inner peace.
The world moved on, its grand parade,
while I walked paths, my heart had made.
At crossroads dim, beneath the sky,
I paused, and lost myself… but why?
