Time Poem by Kingshuk Chakraborty

Time
Imperceptible you,
Carrying me on your back
Keeping the craic ahead of me,
A kindled desire
Making inexorable run.

I look back and see
How the wilderness of my innocent childhood,
The peaks of my adolescent emotions,
Tides of my youth's romanticism
Have gone past.

For the first time
I wished to pull in the reins
Looking ahead of the setting Sun.
But realized
Unstoppable,
Irresistible,
You are the chariot
You are the charioteer too
Taking my soul
Through the path of life -
An experience of increasing awareness.
