Time Poem by Birbal Singh

Time

Rating: 4.6


Art thou a winged thief?
As bards have called thee.
Or as called that great scientist,
An illusion.

Whetever you are, flowing like a stream
take everything with you.
Dry leaves flow on surface,
With downs and ups and downs,
'till, thy wreched waves
tear them,
Break them,
Make them too heavy to go on.

They sink,
Never to be seen again,
Rest float on.
Compelled to follow thy curses lead.

Lost ones, loved ones, sunk one,
Live, perhaps, under thy surface
doomed to never come
up.

If time is relative then perhaps all the good movements are not lost.

" Art thou a winged thief? " Yes. It looks like so, the thief of leaves; sometimes it plucks out the buds and lets them go on...
