Time Is A Wonderful Maid Poem by Minnoor srinivasan

Time Is A Wonderful Maid



Time is a wonderful maid!
She is changing her name daily
As- “Yesterday” “Today” and “Tomorrow”!
She never stops her travel
Like wind and river, moving always,
Her journey is on, on and on!
Time is a wonderful maid!
A virgin maid forever and ever;

Then and now I have seen her beauty
Here and there I have observed it;
Desire is my brush to hold it with grip
Here and there, in my heart
Which is a screen, to preserve it?
I am drawing with my might.
In her beautiful forehead
She keeps dark night as a dot;
The marble moon is
Her adorable face;
Perpetually she preserves her youth
Everlastingly young,
She never becomes old;
The morning star is a flower for her
She decorates her head with it
Before the dawn blossoms;
The bright color of the morning
Becomes the turmeric paste for her
After applying it for face
She plucks the evening sun
And puts it in her forehead
As a beautiful Tilak.
She covers her face
With fog as a veil;
After a while
She rises again
Like an awesome painting!
Oh! Eternal beauty!
The red sky in the dusk
She takes with much pleasure
To adorn her feet as a red paint!
The early night darkness
Is a cosmetic ointment
For her eyes;
Time - a wonderful maid
Never becomes old
Like a poem highly classic
She lives a life of eternity!
The rhythmic musical sound of rivers
Is a wonderful tribute for her?
The spring, full of flowers, is the
Enchanting smile of the maid, Time!
The Fame which never withers,
Remains as her friend forever!
