Time was then when life was rotund
For reinventing the wheels that turned
Journey met the familiar without fear
Life flew like a bird free far and near
Found delight to meet yesterday today
Relationships held hands all the way
Strangers mingled with smiling faces
Kept the nascent egos in their places.
Time is now when life is desolately flat
Things that matter don’t any more relate
Journey is to meet the uncertain horizon
Life is the name of living fear of unknown
Taking loneliness from today to tomorrow
Relationships unhold hands even in sorrow
On flat life the lone actors make own stage
Play the role till they reach ground’s edge.

I want to unknow you,
I want to uncare
I want to unshow you
I want to unshare.
I want to unlove you,
I want to untry
I want to unforgive
I want to uncry.
I want to unhold you,
I want to undo this
I want to unremember
I want to undo that first kiss.
