The Tides of Time

Incapable of being great

Incapable of being small ,

That’s what I am ,

Yet yearning to be both ;

For , in the greatness

A challenge lies ,

To conquer the lofty peaks

Of mountains unclimbed .

But when I think

How the tides of time ,

Leave no trace

Of the soaring heights ,

I wonder how long

Could my foot prints last ?

And , at times I wish

To disown my dreams

And settle with myself

For a small content ;

‘cause there is no greater bliss

Than to be in perfect peace ,

In a corner of obscurity ,

Where few would care to notice

And shed tears

When you go ;

But again I wonder

What would it be like

But for a few

With vision full of dreams ?
