time warps unwrap dreams

closed minds lose their slice of life

existing to live

living to exist

c’est la vie

Deeper and deeper into Time
where when warps and does a cartwheel
for free romantic hearts to steal
moments for each other to rhyme
floating off to a space sublime
Stars burst in synchronicity
laughing with clocks and gravity
oneness of the universe smiles
when souls meld, we stop a while
we wonder…in the infinity

THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “Home” by William Stafford: father, star, light, tragedy, faces, front, door, came, near, locks, own, believe

What are the components of time?

High and down time

Every second

Time to reckon

How far or near tragedy comes

Own front door drums

Believe or not

We face or fraught

Star light star bright in sky

No need to cry

Father is here

He’s such a dear*

⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

One second passes faster than I can blink

Yet it can linger an eternity when I’m trapped in time

Days compressed into minutes and weeks into days

All coalescing into one long unbroken stretch of time

Time is what makes all the difference in everything

It is the great equalizer in all things worldly

Whatever we feel is ours to boast of or treasure

Slowly decays into nothingness with the passage of time

Youth or beauty, charm or talent all eroded

Power or even wealth losses it’s importance in

The ruthless grind of…

होकर बे-आबरू तेरे कूचे पर
बैठा हूँ वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

दे मुझे एक टुकड़ा बासी लम्हा
माँगता हूँ वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

न की पहले कभी कदर तेरी
सोचता हूँ वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

था ज़माना ठोकर में जिसके
रेंगता है वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

गर नहीं उसके घर अंधेर अमित
मिलेगा तू वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर
