When It Is Time

Unlike a juice bottle or medicine pack,
Or a soap or rent agreement; we lack-
"Last/Use-by" date info on each human-
The date of expiry/death is not mentioned.

We don't know what's in our luck/fate.
No one knows their own last day/date.
When the time comes, everyone goes...
God is watching everything & He knows.

No human can ever stop time's progress-
Time is at its own pace, not more or less.
Time comes whether there's inaction/action.
And when it's time, things will just happen.

No one can dictate, nor has any clue-
When it is time to enter, we get to do;
When it is time to leave the planet, we go;
When it is time to reach, we do- high/low.

Whether birth or death, most have no say,
Anything can happen on a random day.
Time of life & death takes us by surprise.
Realizing our truth & worth, we are wise...

We dance to the music of time...
The composition of GOD is divine.
What do you say?

There was a devastating air crash yesterday in Ahmedabad, India, when a London-bound flight crashed just 32 seconds after takeoff.
Remembering some Hindi movie songs - music and lyrics- that philosophise about human life journey's mysteries...
"Zindagi ka safar, hai ye kaisa safar? Koi samjha nahi, koi jaana nahin"-
What is this journey of life? No one has understood or knows.
Song is from the movie- "Safar" - that means journey in Hindi. Video here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLpRfaRiDnk

  1. We have no idea. It amuses me that every year we celebrate passing our birthday but are oblivious to passing our death day.

  2. Your take the word prompt to a painfully real and compelling level .... one man survived the horror. Fate or maybe just random luck of where he was sitting.

  3. When it's Time, yes. But Time isn't privileged to know in advance either. Don't we wish we had a Science Fiction writers skills for real!!

  4. I often remind myself and others: we can't see the big picture. We not only don't know what is coming, we also don't know why.
