Passing By

Sometimes life 
just passes by 
Like clouds that 
do not rain

It is like trees
running past
Through the windows
of your train 

You are caught 
and startled by
How far you
have come 

The years that 
have gone by 
Just don't add up
To your sum 

And we think
if there is a way 
To do that 
Once again 

To not hold 
The same umbrella
And jump out 
In the rain

What a Marvel! A gem of a inspired poetry about aging. It is imaginative & lyrical, with fine breaking into the stanzas & easy flow. Absolutely Love the umbrella conditional wish/dea for the ending, which is unforgettable indeed. Pramod, this is a Fav! Blessings! sally
