I gather speed,I am on the run ,
The lane winds about with ghostly turns ,
Air is redolent with fresh breezy waves.
But I have no time to relish .
The swinging branches laugh in glee 
As they ask ," come dance with me" .

But I have no time to see.
The vapoury stillness  intoxicates my spirit,
I long for some respite in its aura 
And freely breathe.
But  the yonder beckons me 
I need to hasten my speed.

Therein  lies my finish line 
I need to reach.
The blossoms drenched in rain 
Emanates a blush 
I catch a a glimpse 
And again pick up speed .

Theres so much work I need to finish
I have no time to spare to fulfill my heart's yearning.
Responsibility knocks and reminds me
Everytime I stop ,
At times I feel ,I can't carry on.

This was all yesterday ,
Today I reminisce ,
How I wish 
I could run my fingers
 through the velvety blossoms 
And satisy my  heart's longing.

In the whirlpool of my everyday duties,
I failed myself 
Didn't hear any life's music 
In the barren march of everyday responsibilities.
