THE ESCALATOR <br /> <br />The escalator, like time, in a user friendly <br />mode, <br />Takes you up gently, without feeling the <br />load! <br />You may step out when you reach, your desired <br />destination, - <br />To catch a train, meet a friend, or for a business <br />deliberation! <br />The escalator keeps moving ahead, and never <br />in reverse, <br />Ushering in the future, leaving behind the past! <br />While like the time it circles, like the clock <br />in motion, <br />Silently and gently, without display of emotions! <br />But, should life's escalator suddenly stop, during <br /> its climb; <br />You get frozen like a black and white negative, <br />in time! <br />When manually on other's shoulders your body <br /> gets carried through, <br />While you escalate towards heaven, for an <br />eternal view! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 02 Mar 08<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-escalator-2/
