Changing


Without which, a day would not pass
Has now become a casual indulgence
That which flavored the wit for long
Is an ingredient far away now
The presence is still very much there
And invitation still valid and clear
The compulsion yesterday is an option today
Desirable, even now. Newness even now
But bland and blank the taste has become
So much of it deep inside now
That absence is noticed only in crucial times
When so called joy is as good as dullness
When responses are no longer solutions
Temporal taste determines now
Occasional newness is cherished now
Why did it come to this?
Loss of journey to apparent stillness
Sense of vacuum in seeming fullness
Occupy me again, let me set sail again
Still-voyage is living, staying on is dying
