The clock is still there in the wall
But no-body is there in the room
to see whether it's hands move.
What good of knowing the exact time
When none has time
The ryhms of our child-hood, we had left
in the green-field decades before.
Now, he keeps peeping into the world through the glass of his mobile phone and
As you know,
the world is too big to see in a life.
So, he has no time to see the ancient wall
or the clock fixed to it
But still the clock moves with passage of time
Like those ryhms of our tongues
Still playing in the green --
Days to months and months to years --
Like the clock in the wall or
the wall with the clock.
