Contest : Longevity

The cart of time carries me along the ordained path from the listless life rooted in the threshold of present to the desolate wilderness where I was once. That’s the fading past receding away fast, waiting to get abandoned and obliterated. Lying in the shadow’s edge of the furtive future, creating the convivial flood of copious craving, inundating the lavish landscape of my ornate life, I dwell in the fancy desire domain of perpetuity with the deathless dream of delusive longevity. I perceive the pulsating memory undying reside in the remote recess of the passionate past, where the beguiled bird of my love for life soars in the seamless sky of my sensual present, wings of hope flutter to fly past the future horizon. I drift to the certain end with the immortal soul, floating entranced in the sublime sea of eternity with winds of love blowing on impermanent sail. I yearn to get from the divine time for my life the treasured magnanimous gift of longevity.
