This world's now a grassy bay, filled with ochre, pale and dust, grass heads bent, twirl and sway, all at once, with a moment's gust, but just as fast, as the current steers, a new wave drowns the yester's years. the thoughtful posts, or a candid phrase, all lost by the time, till another gaze. a story thrives, at the brink of a day, by dusk, it's driftwood, washed away, a thousand likes, a glance, and then.. the scroll resumes, all starts again. since this hush, this speed is all we know, this ceaseless, mindless forward flow, I watch them all, a rushing and crashing stream, chasing and striving, the momentary gleam. among this stampede, I remain, standing stillness, beside the lane, below a flickering lamp, an opened door, hoping one will wait... perhaps once more. in a world where miles are crossed with ease, yet being known, fleets away with breeze, who has the will, and the time to hold to stop by the road, for a tale being told?

A meadow of ephemeral tides -
This world's now a grassy bay, filled with ochre, pale and dust, grass heads bent, twirl and sway, all at once, with a moment's gust, but just as fast, as the current steers, a new wave drowns the yester's years. the thoughtful posts, or a candid phrase, all lost by the time, till another gaze. a story thrives, at the brink of a day, by dusk, it's driftwood, washed away, a thousand likes, a glance, and then.. the scroll resumes, all starts again. since this hush, this speed is all we know, this ceaseless, mindless forward flow, I watch them all, a rushing and crashing stream, chasing and striving, the momentary gleam. among this stampede, I remain, standing stillness, beside the lane, below a flickering lamp, an opened door, hoping one will wait... perhaps once more. in a world where miles are crossed with ease, yet being known, fleets away with breeze, who has the will, and the time to hold to stop by the road, for a tale being told?
