Writing 101, Day, four: Seconds
“Life moves very fast , It rushes from Heaven to Hell in a matter of seconds.” ___ Paulo Coelho
Image from Wikipedia.
The seconds in the clock is flashing by,
My life’s work is not complete I sigh.
Who will help me I wonder?
The moving hand makes me ponder!
……………………………………………
Get your work done as soon as you can,
My mind tells me, “I am your fan,
Your life’s clock is turned but once,
When will it stop? in seconds or in this instance?”
………………………………………..
None of us know when the life’s clock will stop,
It is better we complete our work till we drop.
It’s a pessimistic way of looking at things,
Can’t we pause for the seconds hand to ring?
…………………………………………..
Our nature really is very strange,
We don’t care if we act a bit deranged.
Until the seconds clock strikes at our door,
Announcing, “it’s your turn now , you have no time anymore!”
…………………………………………….
My thoughts go back to childhood days,
“Was I good , I wonder,” no, my mind proclaims?
“It’s too late now,” the seconds hand warns,
“For the Angel of death is here,” it mourns !
………………………………..:(
All true and well written!
