Chasing a Change...

We spent countless days under the deep dark sky and tried doing something that was impossible. We failed every day but the next day was a new beginning and tried to do the same thing again and again. Counting stars was and will be an impossible task yet we had that enthusiasm to do so every night that we spent on the roof top. When we look back we see a lot has changed over the years, we don’t even look up to the sky on a dark night anymore. Stars are still visible, in small number though with all the pollution in the air, but we don’t even try to count them.

We blame our busy lives and loaded work of the day, we get tired and we stoop to the ground by the time night falls. Yes, i do agree that a lot around us has changed over the years but there are times when we ask ourselves....what exactly has changed?

We woke up to the chirping birds,

We walked along the road in herds.

When wake up calls replaced the need..

We realized time had changed.

Playground was not defined,

Games were not rehearsed.

When gain replaced the pain..

We realized time had changed.

Getting drenched in the rain was fun,

Living in the moment was given.

When seasons stopped with reasons..

We realized time had changed.

People were around,

Situations were sound.

When distance replaced achievements..

We realized time had changed.

We define a requirement and then add value to it. When a value is added, we then define the need. When need is achieved we look for a new requirement. When we look back we see how much everything around us has changed we never look within to find how much of us has remained.
