It does not discern amid man-made priorities to latch on to stakes
It does not prefer nor does it demand any special attention or care
It is always open and encourages mankind to go beyond surface glare
It seems odd that time passes by but its presence is noted only on special dates
It always makes me wonder of the moment when everything started on a clean slate
It seems odd that the same moments on most days appears to be bland
It is weird that on a defined date the celebrations are special and grand
What prevents us from treating every moment with the requisite love and affection
Is it our habits needing a reason to go beyond routine to truly embrace our passion
Is it a lack of purpose that makes us unmindful of the unforgiving passage of time
Is it sheer inertia that we refuse to wake up and directly support the heinous crime
Can we pool our resources spent on indulgent celebrations for any noble cause
We can still get a high akin to the joy of registering a win after suffering a loss
Can we stop getting drained of sustaining energy and direct it to constructive use
We can avoid unproductive days and look forward to life akin to a joyful cruise
Time moves on and it is we who press the play or pause button as we run our race
We can at best review but not press the forward button that will come at its own pace
We can always be mindful of the present as we play out our roles and are centre stage
We only need to treat every moment with care and give respect as it turns another page!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!
