Time

 

To whom else than the clouds can I speak

 Left alone in a barren land

Am I subliming or dissolving?

Who cares someone left alone

Lots of words float in air as armaments

With a chiseled edge aiming my neck

Made a hop to catch one word

It was nothing else but ‘Trust’

It jerked away from me as I leaped

Why on earth that happened, still unknown

I succumbed to earth with a sigh

Suddenly a spring rise from the wrinkled land

I drank the pristine water as if nectar of life

Relieved for a moment, I gazed at the sky

I saw a word approaching me as fast as it can

It was ‘Forgive’, a blunt one

I took that word in my hand, caressed with love

It shined as gold, I know it was the call of the infinite

Then I turned into a heap of ash! , a temporal truth.
