Past, present and near future

PAST, PRESENT AND NEAR FUTURE As innocuous as the wail of a newly born infant; sleeping blissfully in his airtight cradle, As evanescent as the sun setting behind the mountains; giving way to the descending of night, As nimble as the fleet footed squirrel; traversing night and day through hollow spaces of the tree, As tender as a woman draped in pure silk; her embellished eyelids lowered a trifle in meek submission, As redolent as the tendrils of the blossoming rose; shimmering in magnificent color under orange rays of the Sun, As impeccable as the spires of the Temple; towering harmoniously towards the sky, Was my early childhood and past.

As speedy as the flying aircraft; cutting placid currents of breeze at electric velocity, As boisterous as the kangaroo; taking two leaps at a time, As rambunctious as the humming bee; buzzing discordant and loud at all times, As tenacious as the milky white moon; profoundly illuminating the ghastly darkness, As passionate as thunder clouds colliding in the cosmos; and the subsequent pelting down of torrential rain, As pragmatic as commercial business; equating the intricate nuances of life, Is my robustly rubicund youth and present.

As mystical as the unfathomable gorge; the echo reverberating loud and stringent across the valley, As mysterious as the enigmas of the universe; infinite riddles of creation left unexplored, As inexplicable as the sporadic shedding of leaves in autumn; the rendering of lush green landscapes into barren land, As poignant as the hood of the serpent; its fangs snaring viciously in spell bound enchantment, As uncanny as the underground volcano; with its dormant lava unpredictably circulating all around, And I now leave it entirely on my omniscient creator to chisel my dreams; mold my destiny; unveil my near future.
