Colors of Time!!

Time changes time flies

Some obligations in the way,

Along with strong bonds and ties.

But sometimes it passed slowly

Things were stagnant and dull

Yet different with all glory.

Happy times came with breaks of gloom

But hope tied in faith

Kept the flowers to bloom.

I am thankful to both for keeping colours there

Life would been a monotony

Without each others share.

Time Turns!!

Time has a habit of turning tables;

When good days come, bad seems fable.

But things never stayed temperate in course,

Man must learn ways n ride its wild horse.

Ones on high perch must keep in mind;

 Phase not lasting, only an ephemeral passing.

If today flaunting position or glittery crown,

Tomorrow throne's a circus in the hands of a clown.

Lore is whispering; show clemency at all times

But drift responds; flash in good and drag in grimes.

The prudent stays calm in realities of life,

Enlightened in dark, foresee opportunities & thrive.

(Samima)

Fleeting Permanence!!

Time changes, is learning through ages

Never stops never halts, in life’s pages.

Sometimes; in blooms of happiness like meadows

At others, a tree of winter in shadows.

The secret is to go on slowly as this World

Everyday very same, suddenly different and twirled.

It’s the shift that creates life so very loved

Transition always needed to increase its worth.

Today in droughts of scarcity & insufficiency

Tomorrow its abundance in God’s clemency.

An Example (by Samima)

Hell is raised, when unworthy gets an upper hand

History suggests &  time will tell, all wrong stands

A little success or temporary power, enough to make one wild

But  tables turn & Time swaps, HE is there to  Smile

One Great power always there, was gazing silently

Finally caters these dramaphilics, with wrath exemplary.

Self Reliance

A naïve little girl

Always shy and scared.

But hard knocks (of life) tamed her well;

Self-reliant now and fully prepared.

In the long journey of fear and timidity

Fallen many times, apprehension paired

Exaggerated modesty was mere cowardice

Boldness and assertion, never dared

Life and Time are two great teachers

Many lessons learned with wisdom shared

Happy now, grown out  from past

Things are better and much repaired.

Self reliance her Gold and freedom her riches

To people has accounts undeclared.

Assertiveness and confidence are now her jewels

People and life, all  pretty squared.

The Salad Days (by Samima Shah)

When life seems fun

Worries less or none

Days are carefree

Nights very sleepy

Energy over flowing

and Ideas pulsating

Choices are easy square

Books are biggest nightmare

School & College  formalities

Yet desire to conquer universality

The World begins with friends
 hot or not, follow every trend

 Parents are resourceful ones

Think have money in tons

Our judgements very harsh

Decisions quick, personality starched

Music is life, volume deafening

Want riches & fame at beginning

Everything starts with I, Me and My

Belong to Royalty, can’t comply

The special beings, destined to rule World

Individuality & Uniqueness, our favorite words

 Love and affairs are also in tunnel

A gossipmonger dropped my news through the funnel

Everything changes when reality hits

Life isn’t fair, everyone admits

It has seldom ups and many lows

Experience asks a lot, many setbacks and blows

Your friends aren’t your world whole

Everyone busy to hit his own goal

 Have to earn to make a living

 No pots of gold there, few upswings

Days are shorter, and nights less sleepy

Once were Salad days, now strange and creepy

But will steer these tough days well

Dreams will be true, after a hard work’s spell

Depression

Everyone has this secret confession

At times, suffer inadequacy or Depression

Feeling of lowliness and having not enough

Sometimes ask is ‘ material possessions’

At sea all time, floating in criticism

Touching the lows of blues and dejection

Things go bad n lose track

Its Life, has downturns with recessions

Stop  feeling wretched and hapless 

Life’s beautiful, your cursing is transgression

“Adopt the pace of nature, its patience”

Times always in flux, So, misery stays?  Out of Question.
