MISCHIEVOUS TIME! <br /> <br />Time they say is a great teacher, but it kills <br />its pupils all the while! <br />Time is also a great healer, a magician with <br />guile! <br />But Time is the worst beautician, it crumples <br />you up with age, <br />Till the mirror one day reflects, a withered and <br />old visage! <br />Time is the worst miser, who loans you out a <br />few years, <br />And charges your life as lien, and tries to allay <br />your fears! <br />Yet our days are all numbered, and each moment <br />is a loan, <br />Time remains illusory and decptive, its mysteries <br />are unknown! <br />The Greek Heraclitus had rightly proclaimed, - <br />Every thing on earth is only flow and change! <br />O Time how I wish, I could hold you by the <br />locks, <br />Before you begin to fly away, and the future gently <br />unlocks! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 16 Aug 08<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mischievous-time/
