Worldly Things Are So Transient Poem by Bharati Nayak
Worldly Things Are So Transient
Oh! These worldly things
Are so transient
What we see today
Turns into the past so quickly!
The Dahlia bloom of my garden
That I was adoring in the last winter
Wilted and faded
Now it is only a photo
I clicked on my mobile phone.
Oh! These worldly things
Are so transient!
How soon I grew up
From my childhood
And now at the brink of old age!
I only remember
The fun and frolics
I had with my playmates.
Oh! These worldly things
Are so transient!
We are all but footprints
On the sands of time
Soon to be wiped out
By the blowing wind.
Oh! The time is too transient
It seems so harsh
When it engulfs
Many people and relatives
Who were once part of our life.
The earth rotates on its orbit
Taking people and things with it
Birth and death are only constant
Nothing is permanent
Oh! This life is so transient!
How intricately you've weaved the truth of everyday life. Just loved it.
very true. When I think about the past it always seem closer than the actual dates it happens. Twenty years never seems like twenty years. I guess that's the nature of our perception of time as we grow older. Excellent poem.
