“From Abyss to Abyss”

“From Abyss to Abyss”

 If future is a time which

Nobody has ever seen

Then to cherish all their hopes

Why everyone always dreams!

 

Does future always bring for us

Happiness and hopes?

No. Sometimes it makes us happy

And sometimes it makes us mope.

 

Future is one big river bed

Whose banks are eternal time.

Flowing full with water of hopes

It springs from human mind.

 

If every hope of every man

Keeps flowing in that future time,

Still after eons, some one will find

Deep empty abyss of time.

 

To me, future is nothing but

Deep empty abyss of time.

And water of hopes from abyss of mind

Will keep flowing to that abyss of time.
