The green shaded into grey, somber
was the time.
The mountain lost its edges.
We drove on
but could not see the road.
It lost its magnificence
and as for us,
we lost our significance.
A huge carpet of shimmering car lights rolled out
between the gigantic girders painted in ugly red,
and we were just a small shape in the tapestry.
We traveled: from moment to moment,
from point to point,
never realizing that was not how we wanted to be seen
by the eye of the giant rolling pin: Time:
when we started out to reach the mountain,
resplendent like a crown, and elusive like the sound
of a fog horn in the mist.

+Sushama Karnik I really enjoy your diversity in your poems Sushama,thanks..`)REPLY 31w 
+Kevin Walsh Your compliments are more than what this poem could set out to accomplish. It was the stirring of the memories of traveling the whole day on various kinds of roads, watching the changing moods of the sky, the changing light, the bridges with gigantic girders and the glimpses of the hills emerging and vanishing out of sight. I am amazed by the impact it made on you, my friend!REPLY 31w - +tony langmach I am glad if you find diversity in my poems. The rich interactive writing which is being experienced on G+ is really a great source of inspiration. This stream has brought me into contact with the best minds I have known in life. This is not to say that I did not know such minds before in the non-virtual reality. But what G+ is providing me is amazing.
