What I Really Wanted To Do Poem by Gajanan Mishra

On this day
I am unable to do
What I really
Wanted to do.

Inwardly
And outwardly
I belong to time
And well known to me,
Time is an abstract idea
And I wanted to
Go away from time.

I am watchful
And alert,
I understand
It is not easy to
Go anywhere.

Life is all
A question of time.
And time-the careful
Analysis of life.

I realize
Time and life
Though, truth.
Both are
Far from the truth.

The truth is free,
But neither life
Nor time is free.
