Hope — In The Arc Of Twilight
— Kamlesh Tripathi
Life changes when you enter the arc of twilight. You‘ve left so much behind as compared to what is ahead. This is when one feels. Perhaps, it‘s time for introspection—
In the arc of Twilight,
When the day recedes,
Night retrieves,
Is when the daylight dims,
And darkness begins.
That makes me wonder,
Is it time to surrender?
Where the end looks closer,
And time every minute a bulldozer.
It appears as if,
There isn‘t much left to render,
For the thread of life,
Now looks slender.
So the time looks ripe,
In the realm of life,
To account for,
What you missed in the strife,
And gathered in the stride.
But before the destiny strikes,
And takes you by its might,
Into the wide blue yonder,
That is full of thunder,
Since you have to surrender,
It gives you a chance to remember.
Therefore … before the untoward arrives,
Scan through your haphazard life,
To slate it out for your own sight,
What you could attain,
And what remained in vain.
And rejoice,
To the gift of life,
That the rare attain,
Wrapped in the hallowed domain,
Under the aegis of the sacred saint.
So reflect honestly,
To the count of your vivacity,
To feed your own vanity,
And ask yourself.
In this life,
Did you see what you wanted to see?
Do what you wanted to do?
Say what you wanted to say?
Love … whom you wanted to love?
For the rhythm of life,
Is only as wide,
As the breath of life,
Where only the lucky go past,
The fill of life.
So hurry up,
As time is ticking,
Seasons are vanishing,
Life is exhausting.
And before the destiny strikes,
In plentiful,
Be kind,
Be sublime,
For that is indeed prime,
In God‘s mind.
–Don‘t fear the arc of twilight. It is for everyone. But yes. Work hard to attain what you have to attain before it sets in.
