A Sun Of A Century Set Today

A Sun of a century set today - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - After shining gloriously For a period extraordinary Precisely a century- a rarity Of Nature’s lavishness to him Expended from her Treasure house of time A bit weary he was now looking Old and worn out Petal by petal falling Yet not ready to withering Though time hurries on To give birth to autumn as unfair king I asked him once Don’t you regret that Good old days are gone And in the midst of the garden You are now left alone Oh how can I stop the stream from flowing on The Sun is shining But with a faint smile And the wind is blowing But with a beating chill Still I am groping For a life so amazing May be glorious is heaven But earth is no less joyous That I would love to be born Here again and again I wish all those years were chained And me not a temporal affair That all would have so realized And God in particular Over such funny wishes of mine Be confused and resigned For my sake even, paving the way For centuries to bask away While the Sun was still shining The day was steadily losing Its sheen and glamour And towards twilight It was getting nearer And the night was not far For how long the centurion Would hold intact his breath When life slowly softening into death East was his dearest But azrael lured him Into the paradise of west As the infinite way Of today, tomorrow and yesterday...........
