Poem


Time speeds away unmindful, 
ages added on to eons, 
piling changes on change, 
it moves on, 
seldom posing lull and loll.

With the current rushing swift and fleet
we race past from old to new
from times primeval to times neoteric
watching the ceaseless chain of births and deaths
tasting life's vicissitudes of joy and pain

In this unwinding circuit of time,
how long is my sojourn here? 
sixty, seventy or hundred
Does it count much?
does it mean more
than a mere drop in the ocean? 

Like the bubbling foam 
or the dying froth
constantly born and destroyed 
by the rising and receding tides,
we appear uninvited
and depart unnoticed. 

We can’t rewind the hands of time
or the changes therein. 
Many a thing is beyond our control
Shikata ga nai.

Yet I can be the catalyst of change
in a world that has gone cold.
How I wish to ignite the flame
when light goes out from many hearts.

I aspire to inspire, though I am a tiny mote,
just a miniscule in this vast cosmos,
through thoughtful acts of kindness
and hands reaching out to the needy.
With ears to listen and a heart to feel,
I can script a tale of love.

Between the rows of mighty forefathers
who exited out 
and the countless progeny
lining up 
I have squeezed a space 
to be a face
in a faceless multitude.
