Life is a bubble on the surface of Ocean of Time... Just my musings on 'Life' and 'Time'


Life and Time

Time is a bubble in a moment of existence,
Perched on the surface of eternity...
Forever fragile, forever delicate,
Ready to burst in a jiffy!

Time is the foam on the Ocean of life-
the froth, floatsome of being-
Soon to be taken by the passing breeze,
And no more be seen...

Life is the soul trapped in the bubble,
Waiting for release...
Where the Nirvana, where the Salvation,
Who in this world perceives?

Life is a speck in the scheme of universe,
Transient and brief
Time is Supreme!
Who knows its extent? Who knows its extreme?

Time is a bubble in the Ocean of life-
Perched on the surface of dreams...

Let's make the most of that tiny bubble cause we're just preparing for that greater endless period of Eternity. Then there will be 'Life and Eternity'. I challenge you, such a good poetess. to write that poem!

Treat the bubble with care.

Mind-stretching reflections, Zoya. I like especially stanza 3; its third line is a beauty!
