Beholding The Eternity... Poem by vaishnavi raghuraman

Like the water i wanted to hold in my palms
those dear ones who were sliping away...
but everytime i looked back
i found just none anyway....
With every new dawn, i saw the distance growing..
like a mass of ice senselessly floating...
was it me who was drifting afar or...
were those strands loosening their stays? ? ...

Oh! those bygone days are a bleak memory now
i rather wonder whether they were real or fake.....
Its like i wanted to behold the eternity forever...
entrap those people & memories in spider's web....! !
Those smiles those talks
Those confidences, those walks....
i lost them all..
to the sheens of ambition! !
however do i find them..? ? i often solemnly question..! !

But the time does teach to cope..
i traversed alone & left them all...
its only their memories that hold me strong
for without them i'm nothing afterall....

no one can behold the eternity...i learned..i realised...
its something that we all dream for....
if all dreams did materialise so easily...
would ever again the humanity
go after things with a passion afterall..
the world would never sleep again....
but would be consumed by the malice of avarice overall

so dream..& cherish...& nurture
all that is yours...
'coz you never know when life'll take back these all....! ! ! .
