Poetry

Moment

During sunrise…
The restless youths
worked hard for…..
fancy cars
beautiful house
glamourous fashion
precious pieces of jewelry
unlimited global travel
noteworthy recognition.

During sunset….
The florid and feeble old
has established…
financial security
beneficial for bodily health
serene and tranquil life.

What a perfect plan…

Most of us dream…
Perfectly orchestrate
Our future—-
Forgetting—-
A Master Planner.

Lo! and behold
What we own is a moment
To leave an imprint of
Worthwhile journey
To the things that don’t
Merit the earth
But to the

Everlasting life.

  1. A simple inner voice. Feel of poetry is missing.
