Ageing (I)

A wall clock,
rooted to the wall suspended,
though its arms ceaselessly marching on
with the unceasing time,
is resonating tick tock every second,
like a heartbeat reverberating,
no matter if day breaks out
or darkness encroaches, howsoever,
just keeps carrying out its chore,
even though it seems bored
of its own mechanized behaviours,
but don't really make a fuss
until it's famished,
and keeps on beholding the ageing world,
ageing people, ageing surroundings,
and is aware of its own ageing
on the one track lane of the time,
but remains bold and calm
knowing nothing in this world is perpetual.

Aging is a good read and gives an inkling of how we everyday, nay every hour and second aging more and more. Yes, this is growth, in fact growing into eternity.

Dib, this aging is a thing of beauty. Do not fear your bodily parts are getting stiffer, your hair is getting grayer but the fact is that you are every time getting maturer in terms of ideas.

In fact all of us have a universal soul that does not move apropos time. It is the body, unit body not the universal body that gets older.

Dib, it is natural to worry we are getting older and we must be wise to think with age we getting wiser.

It is a spontaneous activity.

Dib, life is a process, a movement, a flux.

You are not the same exactly what you were yesterday.

A beautiful read. You have a skill. It is rhythmic indeed.

That's pretty good, diby. I enjoyed that. I really liked the last two lines:

but remains bold and calm
knowing nothing in this world is perpetual.

Ageing (II)

Life is ageing secretly,
moving strangely,
and crawling blindly toward the mouth of death,
holding the hands of mighty ageless time.
