Some Time With The Timeless...On My Birthday

The dark sky blanketed the painfully tired sun of my day... 
Suddenly broke into a crimson morn, 
before I could scan the horizon to get over the confusion. 

Sitting hesitant on the dividing line with wide-eyed innocence... 
I questioned every happening 
in the infernal darkness of being. 

Murky, cold and still as dead 
the stars stared speechless failing to quench my insatiable search. 

A star broke off, burdened by my enraged questions to time 
for not making my moments timeless. 

As I selfishly count upon a dead star, 
it said: "Time and Timeless are dreams apart..can never meet, 
What you call Timeless is your pride, your insolent soul force...
But that too is in Time". 

One more year added to bear few more memories, 
All I would lose to time with time, few I would preserve with pride... 

A distant tree coughed and groaned... 
Disturbed by the phone calls I got. 
I answered to few timeless friends, 
only wishing not to break others' peaceful silence.

And then 
I fell down to a timeless sleep....
