As Much As
As Much As
You die, as much as you choose to
Each day...
So also you live
Every distinct moment
You dive into... that comes your way
Here is the second ...that elapsed
The minute too
I could see...palpate
Yet could not hold on to
The time that has just slipped out of hand
Like sand ...
Has joined the elusive past
The deep gorge
That houses went by
Eats into each breath
Slowly and steadily
Like an ant devours ...starting from the edge
>
Wish time stood still like a statue
As a lifeless clock hangs on the wall
Alas!
Things perhaps are not devised like that
And my wishes seem to fade fast
Time moves in its pace
Like a sleepy bud slowly raises head
Blooms with grace
Silently advances...gnaws into a labyrinth
As per the set pattern of life
Birth after birth
Time in its repetitive stance
Tries to whisper in our ears...
"every drop of this one of a kind offer
Is to be savored with love."
