Birthdays and Wishes

Truth is,
Time is the constant, the still calm
The divine stagnant, if you may.
It is us who pause- voluntarily
Sometimes without realizing it.
We all drift through time,
Making and marking our way.
And the birthdays are milestones
Telling us how far we’ve come
And not how far are we to go.

We are all point A to point B vagrants.
A is given to us, B we can choose.
Your achievements are the shades,
Your struggles the hot sun, which
Make you seek the shades desperately.
Your wisdom is the breeze of rest,
Your love is your motivation,
Your family your sustenance,
Your friends are the ones offering you lifts,
Your words, are your fuel.
B can be elusive, but is omnipresent.

Your eyes are keen
Your heart is honest,
Your mind, curious.
Open them all.
Keep them open.
Your B is on its way.
