Time Dimensions Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Time has two dimensions in human's view-
The horizontal and the vertical.
The clock will scale the time horizontal
And the mind will value the time vertical.

The horizontal is quantitative.
The summation of physical time
Available to one is termed as life.
One has no control over its function.

The vertical dimension is qualitative.
The moment of emotion determines it.
Pain & pleasure, joy & sorrow, love & hate
Hope & fear and fate & luck oscillate it.

Time is ephemeral in character.
It slips without any moment of pause.
It runs fast or walks slow as we take it.
Man to hang and woman to wed know it.
