An ambitious man

Past was good,
or was bad,
but there is always,
a better future...

thoughts & energies
all are focused,
how to make it,
better & better..

make it better,
a projected future,
from the lessons,
learned in the past..

I keep thinking,
while I am eating,
while I am working,
while I am driving,
while I am sittling idle..

little did I realise,
I never reached that future,
as future,
always remained a future,
and I have,
to make it better..

My time went past,
and so did the whole life,
and I kept watching it,
with one eye on future..

An ambitious man was I called,
so did I achieve,
heights of professional
and personal gains..

I was very successful,
in the eyes of others,
and so did i believe,
that I have got that I aspired..

One day I paused,
It was very bleak day,
depressing and dark,
I looked around,
I did not know anyone,
or did they know me,
my close ones,
had long past closed on me..

Life has passed,
and then i come to know,
all the fun,
all the love,
all the compassion,
all the relation,
they belonged to the present

The present,
which never was.
