TIME

I waste time-
As you race against the seconds.
Checking your watch
Every now and then.
Praying for some extra minutes-
To write out your thoughts.
While I,
Use up all my extra hours,
To write out my idle wonderings.
I reflect-
Coz I have all the time in the world to-
On the past, present and future.
Laughing over my secret joy-
At the treasure that’s mine.
Always yearned for-
But which never
Had been,
Truly mine ever.
I ponder-
About the gift-
That your presence has brought
In my life.
At the strange calm,
That your touch
Has evoked in me.
As you reach out to me-
Even in your silence.
I look out of the window-
Coz I have the time to
Stop and stare.
And think about the many things-
That we must do.
While we are still young.
Yet- not so too.
You still rage your fight,
Againt the time machine.
As the beat of the seconds
Fly by for you.
Your time zone-
On a faster pace-
In contrast to mine-
Where time seems to stretch-
My idle mind-
To my smiling dreams.
