I Want To Live

The day passes by At the gigantic speed of a bullet train I can’t help but watch it go away The aspirations are tossed in the air with a jerk They keep soaring high in the sky for sometime Like flares of rotten paper While descending they land on my face One after another Like the dull evening light slanting upon barren fields I want to bask in the day light I want to live every moment of that glory But alas, All I can see at the end Is just a thin trail of dust That keeps pricking my eyes.
