Camera

You need not go to trek

the infinite wilderness of time

to savor the sweet and fun moments

that you have been tasted

all through out

All you need is to freeze

the wink of your time

through a click and a flash

to seal it in this scroll

In the future,

If you want to steal glances

in your fading warm memory

all you need

is to unseal the scroll

and immersed yourself

of all the sad and fun instances

that has been

experienced

somewhere in

your life’s span.
