As if, for granted!

Nothing abides for ever! 

------------------©-----------------

"Nothing" abides for ever!

It's good,

That nothing could be taken,

As if, for granted.

Though you desired, hoped, expected, 

Though you tried your best, 

To achieve what you earnestly wanted!

The world of the past, 

The world of the future, 

The world of the yesterday,

The world of tomorrow,

Though look so real, 

In your thought,

In your memory, 

In your imagination,

The people, places, events, 

Though look so real, 

That is all the work of your brain,

That conjures up a picture, 

Seemingly so perfect,

That you're deluded and begin, 

To believe,

Yes, I could / will achieve, 

In the near or a distant future,

What I always cherished.

But lo and behold!

The very next moment,

Everything is vanished.

And you scratch your head! 

Thinking, what may have gone wrong, 

That is what has been happened so long!

Longings and belongings,

Are gone in a moment,

And you watch on only,

This great event!
