NOT WHAT I WISH BUT…

 

time is a frenemy 

a dreadful crony that gallops without a sigh

carelessly flowing through the unknown  

our life’s nothing but a vapor 

someday you will seek me

looking deeply for me but you won’t see me 

I would have been blown with the wind 

my ashes flowing with the rhythm of the breeze 

wild and free as I’m swooshed by the wind  

scattered in the bosom of Mother Nature 

the slightest sound you hear not 

a subtle caress the wind will pat your cheek 

you will seek my presence with passion

drenching your pillow with uncontrollable tears 

you will curse and curse the universe 

but your drama won’t re-write my tragedy 

you will crave for my attention 

waiting to wake up from the dreadful nightmare 

then reality will dawn on you 

I left my shadow behind 

someday… I will be no more 

not what I wish but…

life happens without our consent 

without pity, without remorse
