Time!!

Sitting idle in the middle of the day I was fiddling with my thoughts. Making myself realise that I was there, living the life there , in that situation. It happens sometimes that you are so lost in space & time that you tend to loose control of your being. It was just yesterday , I remember when I used to come from school & sat down chatting with my mum & sisters while we had lunch.

The time passed , as in literally flew , & then I hardly come home at afternoons & hardly had any time to have any lunch. Sans time to spend with family & sans time to realise what was going on around.
It flew & it flew, till it had blown me away with it, when today I am so far away, much farther than to be able to reach back when it pains most to be there.

How did this happen, in my excitement & fun & joy & achievements & growth ? Cannot reckon it even if I today want to.
They say life passes by in a fraction of a second , we don't realise the truth of it,until such feeling of loss grows in the core.
I now see time as, a vast mesmerising swift bird which flies & flies in its own skies. You never know when it is there & when it is gone, till it's so far away that you can actually have a look at it's whole size, but till that time it's way off your reach.
Here it comes....... there it's gone.....
