Hold on for a while and catch a little breath
Let your effervescence not restrained
From getting entwined with the moment
Do perceive and reflect
As much as you can
Soak the warmth of the sun
Feel the texture of the sand
Go lost in the colors of the sky
The prized laughter of your beings
Just take a moment to cherish
As the time is slithering and will soon perish

Don’t await for tomorrow to relish
The essence once gone never replenish
Don’t tie up your inner butterflies
Let them flutter
For if you save them for later
Nothing will you ever cater
Man never settles until their doom
With those twinkling eye drops
Smiling and laughing you can only reminisce
You can’t perceive and live them again
Neither will you be the same
Neither will be those who loved you so
You will see a long crowded past behind
But a short lonely journey ahead

Borrow a moment to saunter
In the alley of merriment
To attain felicity, peace and patience
Don’t you please stack up your delights
You shine and chime to the moments rhyme
Just take a little while to cherish
As the time is slithering and will soon perish.

I love this poem. It teaches the essence of presentness. I love the way you use your words to make it clear that the moment once lost cannot be gotten back again and those that love us won’t be the same when we reminisce. I wish that we could all practice this often, the freedom and stillness of being present is priceless.
To be present is a gift, truly. It is priceless.

Love some of your words choices Samreen and the whole piece begs us to appreciate every passing second as “Time slithers on” You are right on to say it slithers..It’s not just a direct arrow forward or back, but some curves in our road take us one way or the other, while moving forward. If we are aware that our time is numbered, limited,it truly helps us to appreciate every second we have.. All is a gift..and we are the gifted..because we are alive, all is still possible too. I love your way of expressing, timeless and deep thoughts. You are such a ponderer-poet!❤️🌸🌺🙏
