Life's just
A brief moment
There's no time
To do all
That we wish
To do
But only catch
A glimpse.
How long do
We need to spend
Visiting a museum
National Art Gallery in London
The Louvre in Paris
Salar Jung Museum
The Smithsonian
Metropolitan Museaum of Art
And the like?
With a limited time
Available
It's just a walk-through.
How about a visit to
The Grand Canyon
Niagara Falls
The pyramids
The great wall of China
Caves of Ajanta and Ellora
Castles of England
And other nature's wonders
And man's creations
Can a whirlwind tour
Do justice to study
All these in every detail?
Yet, that brief look
May provide
A worthwhile opportunity
To see a treasure-load
Of our inheritances
It will still be
Only a small part
Of what we have
And our view's
Only for
An instant
In time.
