Sorrow when it engulfs you,
The day would never seem to be born,
The world would seem to wait as it is,
Time would seem to pause just there,
While the mind would oscillate
Backwards and rewind till the point,
You cannot go further.
Eyes would see around,
But perceive what they want to,
Ears choosing to hear only the silence,
Heart choosing to bleed within.
It is darkness which lets a light,
Find it's meaning,
The breeze derives its attention,
Because it is momentary.
It is breadth that gives life,
Breadth we inhale,
Created by nature,
A pool of air, just there it is,
For everyone to take,
For everyone to leave behind.
Nobody owns, nobody stops.
This too shall therefore pass!
Just the moon calling it a night,
Days ago, I had no beard,
Months ago, i knew not,
My daughter would be born
Several years ago, i knew not anything,
I did not even enter this world.
It has started from nothing,
Something is only a transient journey,
Nothing will eventually be,
But again only momentary,
For, nothing and something,
Need each other - a perpetual existence.
Like water and thirst.
Let the river of time flow,
Taking with it moments, events
And emotions,
Be you shall a witness to have and to have not,
Let your mind open the gate,
To the thoughts of the past,
To swim with you to the future,
Just as they arose as a future,
To another past some time ago.
Let them pass, you shall,
Hold you may think you can,
But its only a matter of time,
When you too eventually shall pass.
