Then and Now

Ishwor Kadel

Then
a carefree I was
in the midst of chaos 
sure of every success
beyond spatial and temporal worries.

And,
in the heap of misdeeds and blunder
found myself
lonely among kith and kin
loosened the ties without 
wished I could look back
the point of my departure
far at the horizon I left. 

Now
the time is passing by
but a lot to accomplish 
neither continue
nor to restart

Hey! Existence 
either pull me 
or push me
from the journey of life.
