Time...

It was many centuries back the number of which I don't recall.

I was born and lost and there was no one to call

Since that long period I was always on my own

But now I belong here and earth has become my new home.

I was right there when first living was born.

The first seed sprouted and the first season was called.

I saw people breath, struggle, learn and teach.

And even I saw how they changed and then preached.

I saw the God, taking birth and guiding others

I saw the sun and the moon daily changing their colors

I saw the trees grow beyond the space and imagination

I saw the birds coming out of eggs and also shedding their feathers.

I saw giant animals make home of this place

I shared this earth with them, until their deadly fate

I was the witness when all inventions were made

I was the witness when everyone hid behind homely crate

Ritual goes changing things after every change in period

But only I am still there with same form and grade

Still all blame me to make the changes in their life

Only getting used to it is the irony of my life

I don’t have eyes but I never missed anything

I don’t have ears but I do hear everything

I never bothered to speak of me until now

I still lack a worthy companion up till now

I have seen earth turn heaven and hell

Still I am stern, calm and no frail

Owing to my support that mankind have evolved

My existence acted as a middleman to make things resolved

Still People tried to defeat me by running a race

I didn’t worry at all; as I travel at my own pace

I am less remembered and more ignored

I am blamed to be the biggest culprit if one’s troubled

 

I am the history, the present and the unseen future

I am the best medicine and even better a tutor

I have always given and given and never expected

It doesn’t wonder me why people take me for granted

Now I know that this world is selfish and mean

Even I am removing the cloak of selfless and clean

No one cared for me, so I shall teach lesson to each one

I am TIME and from now on I shall wait for none.
