When life blossoms
with joy and boons;
with joy and boons;
Under silver bright sky
glowing with moons,
glowing with moons,
why you slip away in haste?
Not letting me rejoice
its odors and hues;
its odors and hues;
Sinking glorious sights
in dim, dark blues,
in dim, dark blues,
Why you flee on wings to space?
I want to hold you
or chase your trail;
or chase your trail;
“Stay” I beseech too
but to no avail,
but to no avail,
Why you leap as unleashed apes.
When petals of life
fade away in autumn;
fade away in autumn;
To fell on barren land
- rusty and rotten,
- rusty and rotten,
Why you slow down your pace?
I try to drag your
slow cart with hope;
slow cart with hope;
To catch realm ahead
when too weary to cope,
when too weary to cope,
Why you become passive in race?
Be any season of life
- vibrant or drooped,
- vibrant or drooped,
O time! Be just
in all shades of mood,
in all shades of mood,
Why not you harmonize your pace!!
Why not you harmonize your pace!!
-Shivali

ReplyDeleteThank you Himanshu. :)
DeleteOn reading this I reckon that time is an entity which is changeless, while it is the state of our mind which gives us a perception of time dancing to the tune of our emotions......
ReplyDeleteVery true Anoop and thanks for giving transparency to the meaning of lines in such melodious words. :)
