Eternal Cycle Of fluidity

By Manoj Mathur

We value and repeatedly revalue

All the attractive gravitating glitter

But ignore all else that surround us

And, in the process, every moment

We either enrich or cheat ourselves

With unending collection of impressions and reactions

All that seemingly manifest are nothing more than

Transient illusions and contradictions, leading to frustrations

Whether these are grains, plants, animals or even humans

All have to pass through birth, growth, decay and death

More we fulfil our desires, the more these gain strength

Sun rises daily at dawn and bids farewell in evening

To clear path for the moon and the stars

Change is the rule of survival of the universe

Days followed by nights

Seeds growing into plants yielding grains or fruits

Nothing in universe is exempt from the eternal cycle of fluidity

Our hopes, our wills and our dreams

All illusionary, like grabbing the wind
