Sands o time
Someone who has seen birth
That very someone has seen death
She has for ages seen many grow
Alas a moment gone- is gone
Relationships have happened, even broken
Our beloved have departed-
And all it took was time- a flash
Now I walk by the sea sands
Behind me lay my own footsteps
I dragged my beaten bodyIn vain,
weighing on me is time
Even my robes are heavy on me
Or is it my life? Burdened?
It feels numb now, very cold
The waves give me company
My search continues for moksha-
Salvation
Another poem would be-
My withered pastStanding under the trees so wild
Circled by the flowers so sensuousT
he moonlight now glimmering shone
A sparkle in my eyes- diamond like tears
Am alone- lone -none to stand by me
Hath though a wonderful past- was merry
So many people around me- was so loved
But now sounds a dream. They all left me
I have now forcibly become numb
Pain is no longer pain, neutral is sorrow
Wade I through the lush thick greenery
Am in white- free flowing drapery
Feel I bliss- salvation moksha- nirvana
Memories are fading. Glories unglorified
I walk freely, lost and torn unrecognized
A tune of melancholy I sing divine
Sway merrily and I gracefully dance
I guess tis is happiness- solitude
My past is withered, painful-
tis goneLike a fading sunset, my withered past
These were 2 poems that I wrote recently. Again letting go of any signs of negative thoughts from the poems- one is to understand that everything in, around behind above us runs on what is plainly called-Time. My topic is broadly the concept of time. Every moment is to be valued. Moments gone are gone. They reoccur either better or worse than the previous moment. There might be parallel universes where in we are living the same lives differing merely by seconds.But my interest in this topic is not about how time runs as we look at it.My pet- the best ever companion died. My very favorite teacher who personified peace died in an accident. 2 things I leant- destiny and time have its ways.It still takes me quite a lot to digest their absenceHaving moved from school to college there have been changes, those friends have moved away. It is through my sickness that am pondering on the lines of time. For now am asked to take rest. My activities are minimal when in comparison to what they were. The day before yesterday I was running, yesterday I walked, today I have paused. I ask my self is my learning wrong? Aren’t we puppets, doing what we are meant to do? We know more than what we thinkUnfortunately it works the other way round- we are thinking more than what we know. Life is not that fast a race after all. U can momentarily pause, that’s when you observe, analyze. One can learn a lot from such pauses. The time feels as though its ticking slower. In a fast lane you will find stand still.One also learns that he is privileged when in comparison to many. Let’s not blame either time or destiny- for its flexible. Time and destiny act according to your desire, acceptance and understanding.The happiness we seek can come only from within us. So introspect, seek your path. Live not in your tomorrow which may or may not exist. Live today, now this moment.
