Time

source

Eyes were new and so were the bones

Frolicking, chirping without moans

Summer-Spring of life with flowery frill

Universe sang just chill, chill, chill

Autumn’s still glowing with a bright light

Yet sinew’s losing that omnipotent might

Dawn, day and dusk have a strange new feel

Universe is singing chill, chill and chill

A time will come when harvest is done

The mind will long for the hidden sun

The sleepy physique will show time’s weal

Universe will whisper chill, chill, chill

The body and mind will be full of mirth

Awaiting keenly for another birth

  3. The "chill, chill, chill" displays how universe still goes on as a life passes from the spring and summer to an eventual winter. Only a mind at peace and a life lived whole would be full of mirth, waiting for the next birth.
    A wonderful read. :-)

  5. How sensible to see life as that never ending wheel, we fight it of course but my moaning bones are telling the truth; "Chill out old man and make a little room".

  9. The truth wonderfully described.
    I can deal with the body wearing out and giving up the ghost at an old age. When it happens to a person one might deem too young, I find it awfully sad.

  10. Great expression of the life cycle. 'Yet sinew’s losing that omnipotent might' - this is something I can definitely relate to, especially when I get up from the couch.

  11. It is real chilling with the impending winter! Nothing frightening but just physically chilling that is not ghost-like! Great rhyming Sumana!

  12. the seasons swirl one into the next...fluid...and seeming ever faster the older that i get....and perhaps chill has less to do with temperature and more to do with just going with the flow...smiles.

  27. A wonderful homage to life, and time and seasons which brought to mind: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Ecclesiastes 3:1. Beautifully penned, Sumana.
