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. 👌👍👏🙏

Clouded

  Every night, I bring myself  To stare up at the sky -  But turn back home, with a frown on my face, Clouds blocking stars, showing wry.  Every morning, I peek out the window  To marvel at the sea above - But turn away, losing hope,  Cotton figures, masking what I love.  Every time I see the clouds,  I curse them, with all might,  They don't deserve to be up there,  Ruining the bright days and starry nights.  And one day, the clouds finally went away,  And I stargazed in much peace.  But suddenly, the sky felt a bit empty -  Although dotted by the stars, without fake fleece. In the mornings, the sun burnt the pavements -  And something inside me missed watching  The white shapes that merrily float past -  I didn't realise they had much meaning.  Though much couldn't be seen, they brought A wholesome feeling - that you probably can't see -  You only can, when one day,  The clouds decide t...

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...

What it really feels like, being indecisive.

  Let's get started.  Pick the next line:  You mean I need to choose?  You'll do just fine -  That is NOT true -  Whatever, pick the next -  I CANNOT DECIDE .  I mean why not?  That's my flawed side.  Oh, ambiguous, are we?  Sure, just pick a line for me. Is this turning into a poem?  It better be!  Why can't you decide on one answer?  What if one is better than the next?  Don't think too much about possible blunders -  That is exactly why I fret.  You can't not have an opinion -  But that's how it is.  You should really change -  It's not my fault I'm indecisive.  Think about it, I'm used to heat, but at the moment  I can use some cool But I can survive in the Sahara if I have to But I'll suffer in cold rooms, I might even solidify  But now, the heat is a bit hard to bear  But I'm afraid, the AC might get too extreme -  ALRIGHT, I understand, it's pretty hard to ...
