A  POET’S  SOUL 
 
As the present gradually gets consumed by 
the past,  
And the future burns in the altar of the  
present, - 
What ultimately remains are the crystal 
dew drops, - 
Of our evanescent moments!  
And as we slowly drown ourselves, - 
Inside the unknown depths of the mirror’s 
surface,  
Which one day shall forget to reflect our  
face!  
But the poet’s soul remains oblivious, - 
Of our life’s eternal stance!  
And at an advanced age, he continues to  
write his verse!  
And you can also find him in his garden,  
Planting young saplings of new plants!
