As Life Flows Poem by Raj Arumugam

As Life Flows



There's the time one does
in the halls of this expanse

There are all intentions and desires,
the struggle
and effort

and yet - and one only knows too late -
it all hinged on happenstance;
and there's the futility one can never know

You can only say with certainty:
It was thus while it lasted
