[199] Every Moment Fleets
Life has been a humdrum buzz
Full of upturn activities all through
Heavens’ forbiddance can’t stoop
The pressure of daily chores we face
Some play with hands; some by two legs
Both churn out to the world heritage
Some concede; some chin up to
Facing many dangers for the laurels
Of survival on these fleeting moments
Transient stay away from hearth and home
Forgetfuls aplenty scattered in mental rim
Anchorage pushed us into a comfy zone
Sight of familiarity assured divine security
Who told you had a jet lag in generation next?
Even in greyer silence I preferred to dust the
The house you left in disarray to attract self
Beingness got back renewed vigour on sight
Restless like childhood Merrigold wrapped
Around all doors of buoyancy trapped in time
Windows of wings had been freewheeling
Those things of smallness were to me
An uninhibited sacredness of immortal me
Helped settle down with objects hugged me
In the wilderness of joy unadulterated, this far
Caged in a human cuddle, the moments flit
