' fractured hourglass '
face the blues in irises fine
gaze at an infinitude shine
interface with galactic joys
without purpose,reason or rhyme
if only i had time
hitchhiking on nomadic clouds
a way away from 'madding crowds' *
join a shamen or the maci
shadow a lion in his prime
if only i had time
grasp the fun of a grizzly roll
watch a giant panda cajole
and bend a bamboo shoot so green
as laughter becomes life's enzyme
if only i had time
count the stairs at khajuraho
ascend the hills of idaho
in a consciousness of no curbs
echo that one moment sublime
if only i had time
assimilate the words unfurled
in an ordinary people's world
and look for splinters of the heart
in a rubble of dreams and grime
if only i had time ..
