Life-a word of four letters
a quest runs in four corners
found diverse in four seasons
yet unsolved since four Yugas
Not appears gruelling but
none can define it truly
no way but confronting as
nothing remains forever
Dark clouds of grief dispersed by
the rapturous new sunshine
heat waves of arduous times
solaced by the cool raindrops
Age takes away steadily
one's power and charisma
the ultimate turn to Him
fills the heart with sublime joy

The philosopher had thought it through.
The physicist discovered it anew.
And the poet always knew
That time is relative.
If so, why…why do we all seek to measure
The millennia and the yugas
With the same empirical clock,
As in a rat race,
And a similar calendar,
Julian, Gregorian, Vikrami or whatever,
Blissfully unaware
That it may be a great blunder?!
