Stop Time Stop Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Stop Time Stop

Rating: 5.0


Full stop
Though
Dying for thee
O' time!
Slow down
A little
For I'm living
Slowly
And steadily
Haste makes waste
Why then do thee
Run so fast
Where did come from
And where to go to?

O' time!
Slow down
I call upon thee
I'm pressing
The break-paddle too
To enjoy the benefit
Benefit of pausing
Living while
While in the mad rush
Rush of every routine
Making life busy
Busy without business.

O' time!
Slow down
Don't you know?
Even
The smallest breaks
Do wonders
To the mind
Body and soul.

O' time!
Slow down
For I want to enjoy
To the fullest
And not to miss
Miss a single scene
And sense of it
Why do run so fast
And immediate?

O' time!
Slow down
Let me enjoy
Enjoy the moment
That I love
Though
Feeling jealous of
Thou'st hate
Why don't yet?
Get some days off
Off to some place
In the Europe
To a far-flung Resort
Resort of thy choice
If not at all
Long breaks.

O' time!
Slow down
People blame
For causing
Stress and strain
Planning less
Exploring more
At thy pace
With a trick and trade
Why don't ye persuade?

O' time!
Slow down
Don't go any far
Saving moments
And efforts
Do try to understand
Slow and steady
Wins the race.

O' time!
Slow down
It's the new age
Resolute to create
And generate
But, thou'rt still
On age old path.

O' time!
Slow down
Rejuvenating
For peace
And tranquillity
Each one needs
Downtime
An application
Of breaks
Therefore, wait!
Once in a while
Stop time stop.

Amazing yet welcome request to slow down it's pace made to time to enjoy the fruits of modern age achievements of man. In spite of the achievements there is no time to spend at one's own will due to modern life compulsions. A beautifully conceived thought provoking and meaningful poem. Thanks for sharing.10 points.
