Lost and never found..

A song that brings back memories of a moment.
A place that reminds of someone.
A thought you cannot control.
A fact you cannot ignore.
A time that has gone.

Do you reminisce the old times- Happy and sad both? Do you sometimes wonder-“What if..?” Do you wish to turn back time? Do you die to live a moment again? I know you do. And you know you cannot. There is no escaping this. Every moment lived is a moment lost and a memory born. For the better or worse, Life goes on.

And so as they say- This too shall pass.

Each moment a story unfurls,
In a life that lasts a few breaths,
I have come far, clueless how.
In a flash now is then.

My world is a delusion?
Beneath this vanilla sky,
I’d rather not know a vision from reality,
It is what you think it is.

There is forever,
Only for that which is gone.
Time is indomitable,
You lose it when you are in it.

I smile and look forward,
to what beckons.
There shall be my last.
I will have my forever too.

Confined and helpless
You and I prepare for victory,
What happens, is for the best,
I have known no better escape.

Good Work!
Nice manifestation of Human Emotions.
Life tumbles over ends created by the past...
Some of them are congenial, remaining are cull!
but...
We should go on!
Time will continue to bewilder.
but…
"I can" is more virtuous than "What if..?"
Veracity of "looking back" cannot be ignored.
but...
Prophesising of better future is Paramount.

Imagination commends applause.
Every moment lived is a moment lost and a memory born makes me feel that we need to find a way to build a dam to check the flow of time!
Time is indomitable...probably you've not heard of wormholes!?!
