Time or I

Am I the victim of Time?
Or the body with time entwined!
Why at times I find all gloom?
Sometimes like a rose I bloom!

Is Time boyhood, youth and age?
Set for variant worldly stage!
Or I shuffle up Time in phase?
In the process muffle up cage!

Is Time my mind?
Or my mind Time’s game!
Or with fame and shame
Goes on time game?

Is time liquid?
Like money takes shape!
It in a moment
A king a pauper makes!

While I win the game,
Crowd full throated cheers!
While I lose the game,
The same crowd jeers!

For all these questions
Life plays Puck,
On each other
We pass on the buck.

As per modern science , ' 'time' began with the Big Bang ! But it really remains as a convenient device for us Earthlings to gauge the past , the flowing present ,and for projecting our minds into the future of things ! Time by itself has no existence ! It remains as a 'mind's game' ! We may exist in time only for a while , to be devored by boundless eternity ! Thanks for sharing , -Raj
