There was no grief or
a timeless yesterday.
She blurs the moments
into one black smear
and stands like a misfit
when time trudges.
She wants to know
what today means;
somewhere else it is
tomorrow, a new dawn
with another to-do list.
We all are in one planet,
some early, some late;
in between the balancing act,
that lost time is never found.

You got such an amazing thought process woven in beautiful words in blog. I loved it very much. Your photo reminds me of my childhood days 🙂
Thank you for the comment, Suyash. It’s a result of multi-tasking that Im not proud of.. 🙂
I do not process my images, but when I clicked this moment, it made me miss my childhood days too 🙂
I can understand Archita. Childhood days were obviously the best times of our lives – beautiful memories. 🙂
My favorite word with C is chocolate 😉 😀 Love the poem and photo
Here I so agree, Moon. 🙂 What is better than chocolate in this world? 🙂 Thank you for your visit and comment. 🙂
Profound! My favourite C word is ‘Catch’ catch every moment and relish it because its never going to return…
I used to call myself moment catcher until some time ago; now in 30s I think I’m old to give myself a name. 🙂 Those moments are never going return, so strange right? If I knew well, I would have lived my childhood for ten more years! Thank you for your visit and comment, Archana. 🙂
Favourite C word is Compassion. Such a wealth of meaning in it. Like your poem above 🙂
Compassion is one of the best words in the world, Shailaja, thank you so much for reminding me of it. 🙂 Hope you’re doing well.
My favorite word is Calendar!
Your words and photographs are always in harmony.
Calender, clock- anything that symbolizes time right? Thank you, Ree. 🙂
