Holding time still,
It is not possible I know;
Freedom from time
Is impossible to get, I am aware;
Taming time or its passage
Are next to impossible for me;
Still I long for transcending time
To free myself from aches, pains, hurts,
Worries, fears, anxieties, apprehensions;
Thoughts make me worried, anxious
Frightened, apprehensive and painful, and rarely pleasant;
I wish to be free from all these,
The past and the future,
the memory and apprehension;
the two phases of Time;
That cause inconvenience to me
And torture me occasionally.
But unless I transcend
The functioning of my mind and be a mere seer
I cannot hold time still
And attain freedom to be still;
How I wish for peace,
Bliss and silence;
To dawn and dwell in me!
To hold time still
By, me becoming one with
The Divinity, the Self
Freeing myself
From vicissitudes and vagaries of time-conscious mind
Making my mind still and tranquil;
I long to hold time still and be tranquil
Till my breath stops and body becomes still
How I wish for peace, bliss and silence,
When my unreal “I” merges in such serene essence;
Then seconds may become minutes;
Minutes hours and hours, days;
Days months, months years, and decades,
Centuries, millennium;
I always remain a flow of tranquility
How I wish to hold time still
And be free from time
In serene times
When my mind merges in its source, the Self!
