ROLLING WHEELS
Ancestors depart, leaving no heirlooms to keep
Years flip by with all dreams stashed away
Sun sets casting dark shadows behind
Body weakens corroding vitality and drive
But mind, like a young girl, steams with longings!
CHANGE
A scarecrow smiles, an infant sneers
A lion bleats, a lamb growls
Thieves chase the police, peahens strut feathers n’ dance
In sync with the times,
Everything has changed!
Everything changes for sure sometimes not for the better Great poem well written
Amen! CHANGE IS WHAT NEVER CHANGES AND SO THESE CHANGES ARE NATURAL.
yes we have changed what the wheel was now modern wheel changing and changing nice write
Body weakens corroding vitality and drive But mind, like a young girl, steams with longings! ......so touching and true. And.... Thieves chase the police, peahens strut feathers n’ dance In sync with the times, Everything has changed! ...rightly said. Your poems Five Liners.3,4 (Rolling Wheels/ Change) are beautiful and impressive.
Wheel of time never stops like a long distant drive during which landscape is changing after every few miles. Thoughtful poems.
Wheels of Time roll by resulting in change of things.......Valsa.....flesh may be made weaker but spirit stays stronger........wonderful poetry
Time rolls resulting in change. Body weakens and mind is ever stronger. Change seems to be reversal of what we normally see. Beautifully rendered.
You are quite right Asadullah! I am so happy that you have rightly linked the two poems. Though they are independant poems, there is a link. As the wheels of Time roll by, change happens! Thanks!

One thing we can't stop is time, so everything must change with it. A great poem.
