‘A million dollar time’

Take this Kiss upon the brow!
Thus much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night or in a day
In a vision or in none
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is nothing but a dream within a dream.


I stand amid the roar
Of a surf- tormented shore
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few! Yet how do they creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep while I weep!
Oh God! Can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp?
Oh God! Can I not save one from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
Is nothing but a dream within a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe.


This poem reveals and unfolds a natural tendency of a mankind. The poet wants to say that, ‘A time and tied wait for nobody…’

A long journey of life is simply beautiful! In a childhood we are pretty innocent and immature to realize the world round us, still we enjoy the childhood with an extreme innocence and happiness…..

As we start becoming teenager and slowly young we make lots of friends! We look beautiful or smart. We start realizing few things but not to the depth. ‘We often fall in love of the concept of love’. We often commit a mistake in understanding what is love? Love is a measure of care ,and is not just a mere physical attraction or a sexual encounter…..even two friends or a mother and a daughter can extremely love each other! Love is not an affair!! Love is ever lasting, affair never lasts…!! And is often difficult and very very rare to get a true lover! In young age we are enthusiastic,powerful,casual as well as immature to think of consequences….

But as we become adult…..we passed through many ups and downs, sweet and bitter experiences of life…..there we start realizing and recognizing the people round us…..A real life starts after fifty, when we are enough grown up and matured. At that stage of life one may feel extreme loneliness…because everybody of that age is retired from most of the personal and professional responsibilities. That time we require a good life partner.Infact we require a good life partner for the whole lifetime! In old age our own people can only come to support us because at that stage of life everyone can realize and analyze the people in true sense….by that time a person is enough matured. In the old age we realize the value of our own people……
