Outpourings of a different kind

In this ‘limited edition of eternity’ (that’s sheer poetry too) called Life, there is so much one wants to do. And so little time. As requested by the Professor and since there is a call for pouring one’s heart out (especially as the other heartpourer is on a journey to the city of joy), I might as well shade this blog with different hues of outpourings. The fotus of the pooches will follow, just like 'they' always do:-)

TRANSCIENCE

I’d like to rate its spacious measure
equip every portion of it with love
but Life is too wide
its girth too extensive
to decorate willfully.
I’d like to wipe the scum off the shallow surface
delve into its cavernous clarity
but Life is too deep
its waters, too sullied
to swim carelessly.
I’d like to scale the unplumbed heights
paint its peak with care
but Life is too high
its standing too tall
to reach unflinchingly.
I’d like to race with speed and haste
conquer every willful waste
defeat its slow protracted pace
savour every flavour
sample every taste
but the journey is too long
and Life, always short………
of breath.
Nargis.
