Wish Time stood…

– Om Prakash Narayan

As scientists discover

the dust of the universe
from Billions of years
ago –
Forcing humanity to
stand on ceremony
At the edge of
Infinite possibilities…
While staring at
the pillars of creation 

through infra red eyes…
the search for the
source of all space
showcases still,
the Creation,
and not,
the elusive Creator….
and Inconsequential
man matters not
in the grandeur
of such vast
and inconceivable
Infinity…
And yet,
he searches for
the mystery of Life and Death…
Which lie scattered
like pearls of wisdom
somewhere
amidst the vast
beauty of the
Infinite Universe…
Would this infinity
someday
reveal the loved ones
we lost?
a father, a mother,
a brother, a sister,
a child, a grand parent,
an acquaintance,
a neighbor, a colleague,
or a friend?
Tis at such times
we realise painfully
that Time and Tide
Wait for none…
and
T’is at such times
we wish,
that
Time stood still….
