It's Time Poem by Umeshkumar Radhakrishnan

It’s time to time the untimely,
to walk down the road to find a sudden end
and a greeny by-lane.

It’s time to prove your mettle
and metal your proof
for life has ‘if’ in it
- a conditional, circumstantial clause.

It’s time to pluck the blooming
cloud-white cotton for the future bed.

It’s time to feel your views
and inquest your feelings
for life has green in red
and red in the green.

Are you prepared – perfect
with shoes of strong health
with the bag of acquired skills
to press upon life’s calling bell?

for it’s time,
the doors are opening.
