Ponder About Time Fleeting By Poem by Renu Kakkar

Sometimes I ponder why
time no longer moves slowly
Every step I take forward
Is practically a step backward

Day seems to finish to soon
Before I know it Sun changes to the moon
Night is weary and wakeful
Providing no rest for the body or soul

As a child everything was fascinating
Each object was new and captivating
Sleeping and dreaming of fairies and castles
slaying dragons, meeting talking animals

Now sleeps for many is elusive
to call it one has to be cultivative
Popping pills is a norm for some
for others its counting sheep till sleep will come

Sometimes I wish I was much younger
Though i am not that much older
During youth nothing is unavailable
And also nothing was unattainable

Time though fleeting is still on my side
but impediments do slow my stride
Being cautious, strong and etc thrown in
Sometimes I really wish i was young again
