Man and Time



         Every Goodbye  sees
          Dawn next day but
           but not sure about
           the wisher wishing Goodbye  
           that's the way life goes on and on
           since the day it's born
            men are mortal but the
           binding Time is deathless .

    This poem beautifully captures the eternal essence of the passage of time and the inevitability of farewells. The way it emphasizes the uncertainty of those saying goodbye adds depth and contemplation to the spiritual journey of life. The portrayal of time as a binding force that transcends mortality is thought-provoking and impactful.

    In terms of improvement, I would suggest considering enhancing the flow and structure of the poem. The current format of the poem can be a bit fragmented and might benefit from a smoother transition between verses. Additionally, exploring different poetic devices, such as metaphors or vivid imagery, could amplify the emotional impact and engage the reader on a deeper level.

    Overall, this poem offers a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of life, time, and goodbyes. With some small adjustments to its structure and the inclusion of more evocative language, it has the potential to become an even more captivating and powerful piece of poetry.
