The time never stood still..... ~ From a Nomad's diary

With every passing phase

gushes a deluge of memories

Some of love and indomitable craze

and some of gloom that cut short the days!

Time always reminds how it flies in haste

when the days are bright and full of glaze

And then, when the tables turn, it falls far behind

and each moment becomes a haunting tale of grind

The past never fails with its preconceived notions

and it tags along with a trail of ‘if's’ and ‘but's’,

But the present stands firm on its subtle intuitions

even as hopes for future are cornered by doubts!

With the second long gone that one hoped would last,

For a moment the doubts left and again, faith stood a chance

But then, the second died leaving a footprint in the past,

as time reminded self that no time were to last!
