In a frenzy I run,
for the many chores to be done...

yes, death is an ever-present force that grows stronger as we grow older...and time, time is its partner in crime... real emotions here Naseer, not an easy write, brings to mind Dylan Thomas lines 'rage, rage against the dying of the light'

After coming to ph and interacting with the many thoughts and insights gained from the poems I've read here, I've started feeling that Time is running out fast on me and I have to race to accomplish atleast a few worthwhile things in life. Life has risen to loftier heights from mere thinking of self always, I still indulge in writing about my desires & dreams. But, I've also learnt to (really) think of others pain. Thanks Naseer for being one of my motivating inspirations. this is a beautiful poems which reminds us of the paucity and preciousness of Time. Angel

I can relate to this because of personal things that have happened in my life..I feel this way often, like there is no time to accomplish the things I should be doing and time will run out on me too quickly...I felt the whirl and I am still dizzy...I loved it..very emotionally stirring!

The structure makes it a hurry to read, giving the reader the full effect of the meaning of the poem. We really do seem to whirl our lives away in chores and business...Thankyou.

Brilliant! Some people intead of living die each single day. What some call life is, on the contrary, the death of the real being. 10!

Why worry about the call of death, my friend. Life is to be lived. Death comes later.

what a way to put together this mild yet strong feeling...and how it expresses the irony of us switching to the next stage and its time comming long after! I thought one could only feel such stuff and it couldnt be written about but this is awesome!

We are all sunset travelers.It is just that some of us are closer to the West than others. A very profound acknowledgment that time is really not on our side. As always, you express yourself with an elegance that is uniquely your own. Take care. Kindest regards, Sandra

man and his mental cobweb...how silly and strong we look in our spider minded confidence! a kingdom built on ‘octopoid’ boundaries...to be pierced on a slight movement in the atmosphere... a neat and beautiful work, Naseer
