Life's just
A brief moment
There's no time
To do all
That we wish
To do
But only catch
A glimpse.
How long do
We need to spend
Visiting a museum
National Art Gallery in London
The Louvre in Paris
Salar Jung Museum
The Smithsonian
Metropolitan Museaum of Art
And the like?
With a limited time
Available
It's just a walk-through.
How about a visit to
The Grand Canyon
Niagara Falls
The pyramids
The great wall of China
Caves of Ajanta and Ellora
Castles of England
And other nature's wonders
And man's creations
Can a whirlwind tour
Do justice to study
All these in every detail?
Yet, that brief look
May provide
A worthwhile opportunity
To see a treasure-load
Of our inheritances
It will still be
Only a small part
Of what we have
And our view's
Only for
An instant
In time.
Nice poem. My favorite lines were the last two: An instant, In time.
life is like a brief moment. the yr=ears hasten by. there will never be enough time to do everything we wish to do. excellent writing
When we have no eyes to see the beauty around, how can we hope to travel round the globe to catch a glimpse of all these great marvels of man and Nature! For a man of mind and means, it would indeed be a rewarding experience! Enjoyed!
.......................life is definitely a mystery.....why is life so short.....and why does life not give us enough time to do all of these things..... and enough time for us to buy an island in the pacific....

I would like to translate this poem
Life is a moment and we have to catch everything within this short moment.
