For long have I been in bed
Wondering what 'Time' is
Time that shows
Every Face of our life
Time that is there
To be never back
Time that brings
To light every possibility and miss
Time that brings us
Every hope and despair
Time that brings us
Joy with Sorrow
Time to witness every
Life and Death
Time that is there
To hold me tight
But time that is there
Never to be Held

The days would sure enough
Change into years
The memories change into
tears of joy;
Each chapter of life will
surely be read;
The gifts of God would
one day be realized;
The book of thoughts will
someday be closed;
The life ahead too
one day must end;
Everything will end but
few things remain;
Will remain forever
the little World that is Shared.

Alone I sit in one corner
With darkness around my side
Alone I sit in one corner
Wondering why You and I exist
Life's a 'Stage' they say
With us all Acting on same;
and appearance of us as
characters to play
Life's a 'Story' so long to narrate;
initiated by many
Yet concluded by none
Life's a 'Show' with showmen big
Though spectators none
And having begun this 'Story'
myself
Alone I sit Wondering where to
Stop

Why is it that
The Life's Short
Yet the Task so Big;
Theme of a novel is of Few Words
Yet the novel so Big;
Dreams are never Ending
Yet the sleep Fixed;
Needs are Few
Yet desires have no Limit;
Capabilities are to one's Limit
Yet expectations always High;
Wonder Why is
Lord's creation so Clear
Yet the Creator still
Doubted.

Sitting far away from Homeland,
thinking about my people,
my country, my dreams;
I wake up with a tear drop,
A terror seeing Shadow in Darkness.
In search and certainty of Shadow I see;
Here I begin my search for Light;
Light that shows us Way and Hope;
Light that lets the Dark Shadows
Disappear.

I wrote this poem sometime in 1998 when we lived in US, desiring to be back in India. We returned in early 2005.
