Art by-John William Waterhouse

You never know 

how time goes.. 

like a wave 

has touched or so 

time flies like wind unseen 

and undefined.. 

I stand in midst of crowd 

to find the images of 

time in me! 

Time has wings to fly 

but yes, never to return close by 

even I memorize a moment 

for few moments.

I forget I already have wasted 

a time of coming future 

and a good present.. 

what I had and what will I have 

is question of time 

but the fate has made me mime 

still I stand to find 

an answer to every question 

my situation makes.. 

I am standing to 

defeat the time and 

to catch its wing and 

make it mine.. 

I know one day 

I may run before 

time.. but 

would I be 

there to catch 

the Time!

I look at life as a gift of God. Now that he wants it back I have no right to complain.
