Time - Falling Slack

 Have you felt time 

Physically slipping away? 

You probably think you can't see 

Time change 

Transform 

Destruct what used to be. 

But I've seen.

And once I did, I felt the grip slacken 

I felt moments becoming memories 

Achievements becoming history 

Goals becoming a memorabilia 

Of the journey we took. 

Smiles fading away, 

Laughter silencing itself. 

And only the people who saw the beauty 

Can see how it crumpled today.

The changes are ever-changing, 

But change is never always only

In a single direction. 

They changed both ways 

At the same times. 

To earn something, 

Something is given up. 

The sweetest moments sacrificed 

For hopefully better times yet to come.

And for the sake of the wonderful past, 

For my sake, 

I will try to make the future as good 

And better.

    I enjoyed and I felt the fragrance of
    Bhagavath Githa in the inner meaning of the poem. Giving the important
    message that everyone should
    "Make the hay while the sun shines"
    Also "Time and tide wait for none".
    Best wishes to have more such poems to all. You are a blessed soul by The Mother Nature. 👌👍👏🙏

Thunder & Lightning

Lightning is that which intimidates,  But thunder is that which wishes  To follow lightning.  That is to say,  Thunder follows lightning's path,  But reaches a different destination.  But thunder can be far more intimidating -  You don't need to see it to believe it.  But aren't we told to not blindly believe  Whatever we hear?  For all we know, the "thunder" we heard,  Could just be the bark of a very large dog.  But lightning is something we see - But can we believe everything we see?  Perhaps the lightning is just  The lights, somewhere in the sky  Fluctuating.  But if we can't rely on thunder  Or lightning  What if they're both played together?  Though thunder always follows,  Never leads or walks beside,  Surely, we can believe  If we see it, and hear it.  But how great could the coincidences be?  No, to believe it, you must feel it -  And not just a mere ink...

true friend

  The rain fell from the sky,  Drenching all of us together.  I held the umbrella, waiting for them to join, They took it, and went away.  One or two of them turned to thank me,  But none of them stayed and asked me to join. I stood rooted to the spot, staring at the puddles,  Staring at my reflection, wavered by ripples. Raindrops or tears? I didn't know,  But I knew they'd left me all alone.  The sun, blazing in the sky,  I sit under a tree, hiding in the shade,  And they all come to me,  Sit beside me, sweet talk me,  Slowly push me away.  Until they're all crowded together,  Laughing merrily as I stare;  Left under the burning sun, back on fire,  Sweat or tears? I didn't know,  But I knew I didn't want to be right there.  The sky was beautiful, the sunset painting a scenery,  As I watched from the balcony, eyes wide with surprise.  And they all came to me, fooled me with charm, As yet...

Happy New Year!

Hello, 2026,  What do you have for us?  We're all optimistic -  And we're almost experienced. I'm ready for the long list of resolutions  That will either last a week or fade away. I've met your predecessors -  Big titles, a promising index  But the font becomes smaller and less denser  As the pages turn.  And I hope that this time,  The chaos is funny  The change is useful  The evolution is forwards. You don't need to be perfect -  We just need enough light to find Our lost things Ourselves And our people.  Without panic.  But anyways, I'll try again -  A new journal, new diary,  New planner, a neater handwriting -  It wouldn't hurt to try, even if I might fail. But make sure to knock first  Before barging in - I prefer a slow fade in  Rather than a flash.  And however it goes,  Please give us a good story,  Lots of happy memories,  And the best of friends.  Dear 2026...
