AS THE TIME ROLLED BY

As I sit behind a tree trunk,
Under rain and clouds,
I think of,
A day passed called Sunday,
A day passed called Diwali,
Rakhi, anniversary and a birthday...
With every passing minute like a day,
All I can realize is that;
A Day Passed!!

I think of,
A theater showing newest movies,
Restaurant offering classy food,
My neighborhood,
My college that I never went to,
My bike, my car,
Home and friends...
And how they became scarcities of life,
As the time rolled by,

I think of,
My aloofness,Absentmindedness,
If its a curse or a bliss,
What I miss is a loss,
Or what I have is a gain...
Like to all questions,
I have a simple answer,"I m happy this way"

I think of it,
As a blessing,
To serve my nation,
With passion and devotion,
But there are regrets a few,and
What I am saying is nothing new,

O dear God I am a small fry,and
Though I say I still feel shy,
Next time u jumble up the things,
Make few soldiers, make few kings,
Make me a just a common man,
Let me have new pleasures,new pains,

Let me see a life new,
To overcome few cravings I never knew,
Hope you hear while a sing,
A common prayer, a needless thing,
When i wander to eternal sleep,
Make this a promise that you will keep,
Make this a promise that you will keep…
