NOT A WASTE !

Not a waste

anything-

Every enjoyment essential,

every  event for an entity only—

Let the sea swell still, still….

Nothing goes waste!

Let man appear in

Myriad shapes,

The ultimate survives on its own !

Then and there, all forms look

Tempting of terrifying—

Baffling as a bewitching spectacle

May disappear instantly !

To await with utmost patience

Is the need of the hour,

Let us extend entire responsibility to time!
