Time... The Doctor

TIME…THE DOCTOR

With tears in my eyes

& sorrow on the rise

Walking along the roads

I look upon my past…

Grey & dark

Down in the valleys

Where fear grows

In the shadow of black clouds

Gloom & doom spells the background

Where blooms of thorny weeds

& eroded soil rule the land

With poison in the fray of plans

Dull & draught surround the sand

Jealousy & disregard stink in the air…

Misunderstanding & incorrect conclusions

Mar the land…

Misuse & selfishness

Rob the rich forest…

Money & ego

Take away the flame…

Feelings & care hurt like flints…

Leaving indelible imprints

In the mould of my matter

…days passed by as they came…

…with each day carrying

Its own weight in the pan…

…like the raw food it needed a boil

In the vessel of mind

With the fire of thoughts

Persistent cooking made it edible

& digestible to the stomach of belief

& tongue of understanding

…days passed by as they came…

But I never knew they

Would also bring change

A ray of hope flickered upon the marsh…

& a cloud of hard work burst out

…this symbiosis had a big yield

& land became fertile

With no gravel & rock

…trees grew & bore juicy fruit…

…& days went by again as they came…

Healing the pain…and sealing

The dugout with pleasure & gain…

In the grief of the absent pain

& time played the perfect doctor once again…
