THE PASSAGE OF TIME

 

THE PASSAGE OF TIME

 

Magical moments, glorious sunset,

Hope and dream parallel intimately,

Unknown kingdom, life anticipate,

A narrow trek meadow confiscate, (1)

 

Childhood purple innocence rivers,

Pulsating heart touch youth swear,

Pouring love, intense feeling, throb,

Calm mind rebels, tranquility robs, (2)

 

Dreams weave a spider net, passion,

Fantasy, the imaginary land, caution,

Quicksand of lust attachment traps,

Temptation, the elusive mind wraps, (3)

 

Innumerable stories realize an age,

Seek solitude, serenity, pacify, craze,

Shed the burden of life torture hell,

Twilight years memories hunt dwell, (4)

 

Absent eloquent mind shifting eyes,

Debacle detonated life once defies,

Sober and quiet hour reminisce all,

Sequence of happenings, soul recall, (5)

 

Came into life, friends, foes vanished,

Pleasant greetings, quarrels perished,

Remnant of the past cherished item,

Preserved a time to avoid post mortem, (6)

 

Dust cloud cow herds village woman,

A basket of foods, on her head, ran,

Surreal sights sublime human spirit,

Imprinted in the memory, discreetly, (7)

 

Countless thoughts unfold automatically,

The passage of time unwinds pathetic,

Time returns not, The New Year near,

A year passed so soon, and the tear. (viii)
