Sun and the Moon

 

 

The moon told the sun
“wake up mate,
Come on make it quick
You are already late”
“oh! give it a rest,
My dear old friend;
Me being late,
The world’s not going to end."
“The lord of time!
Are you saying this?
I don’t believe it! 
Said the moon with a hiss.
 
“off I go then “
Growled the sun.
“but let me tell you something
Before I go on my run.
You look dark and gloomy
And out of zest.
Are you ill again?
Go and take some rest.”

   The sun strolled in the sky
All the day.
With his bright gaze
Shooed the clouds away.
After two long  days
The moon showed up.
The sun waved at him
“hey chum what’s up?
Back on duty
Just on time?
I wonder how you do it?
Without even hearing a chime!”
“habit" said the moon
Beaming at the him
He was back in health
But still very slim.
“The whole wide world
finds the time in me;
But the king of time
It’s you who shall be”
 
“No” said the moon
To these words of the sun;
“who can bring us all to light?
You, the only one.
you can’t do-
Without me you say?
But without you
I can’t even trace my way.”

We ain't got enough time

  24 hours a day, 168 a week, 8760 an year, but we still can’t find enough time. The clock ticks the same everywhere. But why is it that, no matter where we look, some of us (well, most) can never find time for anything?  Someone asks us to complete a work within a given deadline and we fail to do it. Why? Because we didn’t get enough time. A friend calls and says “long time no see” and our immediate response is “I so badly wanted to talk to you but I didn’t even get time”. So what’s the big deal with this time? Why is it so hard to find?Truth is, we never really attempt to find it. And what we do is, we blame everything on time. We make it seem like we don’t get 60 minutes every hour like everyone else does..  Time is not something that you buy or rent or own. But it is something infinite and it continues to exist even when we cease to. We can’t store or preserve it. There is no reservoir of time that we would run out of. We just need to know how to effectively utilize it. That is th

BFFs

Flipping the pages of my old crumbled notebook I found those scrawny jokers embellishing my crabbed hand resurrecting old memories in my mind. We were best friends; perhaps born 'besties' "Un-goggled" nerds shouting out answers From the back bench; pushed to the corner By a fatso, engulfing two third of the area -a loner. We were the princesses of our imaginary world Where we had the perfect things and were the prettiest girls. In the real world, we'd just sit whispering,with narrowed eyes and a frown. Plotting to push our neighbour down. Piles of grave secrets stuffed in our brain We grew up, but the weirdness never waned. It was the age when our brain confided in double meaning And twenty four seven we fantasized about our prince charming. We made new friends and never did we realize that we were ending up in the opposite shores Petty fights and mistakes and misunderstandings Weakened us, piercing our hearts like s

Are we the darkness?

Are we the darkness shrouding the entire world? dragging it on with a harness; violently thrashed and hurled. What we claim to have created has been tilted and tossed, our priorities still unsorted, deadly lines we have crossed. Now we are too broke to undo the menace we have unclasped; No roads to salvation with the curses we have grasped. And we weep for ourselves  and worry for what time beholds. It's time to tidy up our shelves  and see how the next chapter unfolds.
