It was a normal day and i was busy pasting posters across the campus to invite people to join my society. The poster mentioned TODAY as the day on which auditions were to be held. I pondered and realised what if people read this poster the next day, or what if this poster stated Tomorrow instead of Today, the people might have never come. Everyday is a today and once we determine to complete our tasks today itself. Its never gonna be too late for anything.
Sunny, bright mornings or wet rainy days
The nature surprises us in many different ways
Whats gonna be today, nobody knows
Each day is today, the today never goes.
Pangs of anxiety, 3 words you wanna speak
to your beloved but you find yourself weak
Take a ring with you and a dress red as rose
Propose her today,The today never goes.
Slight misunderstandings, clear them right away
Best friends forever are always meant to stay
Dont let your ego turn your friends into foes
Apologise today, the today never goes.
There are times full of highs and lows
Nothing stays forever in time's ceaseless flow
Thank all those people who have molified your woes
Thank them today, the today never goes.
Life is short, dont sit idle and wait
do it now before it gets too late
Live your life to the fullest before the, curtain close
Live it all today because the today never goes...

Nicely argued and presented.
ReplyDeleteA deep question as NOW seems to expire the second we perceive it.
Indeed. No one seems to understand the value of now. My poem is all about awakening such people.
DeleteThis is beautifully stated, Ash. We only have this moment, this today. Your poem should be read every day when one arises from sleep as a reminder not to let the day slip by!
ReplyDeleteWe only have this moment and we should make the best out of it :-D. Thank you
DeleteSeize the day ... lovely write
ReplyDeleteTrue. Thank you :-)
DeleteThat last stanza tells the whole tale; and your rhyme scheme is nicely worked.
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
Deletei def agree....dont put off for tomorrow because today is all we are promised for sure...really nice rhyme scheme to this...
ReplyDeleteExactly.. No one knows about the future and today is the beautiful present we have with us. :-)
DeleteInspiring, and well flowing poem, Ash.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leo. :-)
DeleteI think it's the lesson of a lifetime, Ash, and you've expressed it so well. Today has started out crazy-like for me and you've invited me to take a deep breath and realize the gifts I will miss if I keep going on like this. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI feel priviledged if my work has done so.. :-).
Deletecarpe diem...yes..def. no time to waste time...we should look at each day like a gift and try to do our best to make it a good day...for us and those around us
ReplyDeleteVery true.. Thank you for your lovely comment :-)
DeleteSome very interesting theology and ethics on the notion of living a life based on each day being your last day.
ReplyDeleteIntresting as well as logical. Thanks for dropping in :-)
