TIME

Time I was told
is a good healer...
and on my own
I discovered it
to be a great teacher first.


I guess it taught me chemistry
as definitions
melted and blurred...

I learnt a lot of
history and literature,
fine arts and psychology
as time the great teacher
just ticked-tocked.


The calculations
speculations and formulas
were all laid bare
as it threw me face down
into world and relatinships.

Time the healer
heals only what it teaches....
subtly but surely.

  2. I never think of time as a good healer. It's what you do with it, heals or doesn't heal.

  3. I do not believe that time heals. It's what you do with it, heals or doesn't heal.
