Life In Space And Time

Life is beautiful but not a dream,

Life is dutiful but not a whim.

Life is competition, a sort of race,

Life is mutual and maintains a pace.

Days dawn, nights fall, years slog on,

Seasons advent to break the monotone.

Does it happen, far and wide,

                            at the stroke of an hour?

Does a beat of prayer make 

                          Earth changes its colour?

Nay, we wonder, and witness

                           the caprices of Nature!

Time and Space hold on to their

                            unchartered venture.

You turn the pages of your life

                                   in these coordinates,

You look at the past, see the present,

                                  stare in dark at what awaits.

Moving through this unknown

                                  traces of Space and Time,

 Making yourself useful to others

                                    in rhythm and rhyme,

A task, fraught with frazzling freaks,

                                    yet carried in stride and chime.

Life in Space and Time, a tiny dot

                                   in an unfathomable vastness,

Never failed to leave its imprint,

                                   With courage, aims and obsess.

Message, loud and clear, from prints of mankind

 Awake, arise, and stop not till the goal you find.
