If I
could be born again
If
only I could love and live again
All
the chances ignored
If
only those could come again
If
only I could be in yesterday
If
only I could stop again
All
the beauty overlooked
If
only those could form again
If
only I could return
To
all the failures again
All
the points missed
If I
could learn again
If
only life were another once
Kinder
to me in time and chance
If
only a bit more I could savour
Content,
I would close forever
Hi Anupam,
ReplyDeleteRegrets? But present beckons.
The past haunts too.
DeleteIf indeed those opportunities returned, how differently would i have lived my life!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we want to look back and wish to live again in another way. Have you seen the movie 'Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind'- it says things that are supposed to happen will happen in the same way again. If I could go back in time, I would be a different person with a different life and a different motive. May be lesser sufferings would mean lack of insight, wisdom and depth and more sufferings in coming days! I was just pondering over your poem. Nicely written :)
ReplyDeletehmmmm good lines!!
ReplyDeleteSurely many of us do regret and would love to have that once chance to relive our pasts. A good post if there are any Einsteins on the block invent a time machine please, i would surely love to relive my school days and have loads and loads more of fun. Life as a grown up isn't half as exciting.
ReplyDeleteWhat you have now is so much more special than yesterday. Look back to learn but look ahead to live.
ReplyDeleteWe learn from our mistakes and then we yearn to go back and erase them,
