Motion

Is time a distance?
Is distance a time?
From conception to birth?
From birth to demise?
From Delhi to Mumbai?
From Mumbai to Venice?

Do we travel in time,
or is it just the distance?
A step, an hour, are they
just perceptions?
Should we count
in measures of
happiness and sad?
Love and hate?
Anger and compassion?

At the end of a sojourn,
does it really matter
how much we have traversed?
Be it in time, or distance, or feelings
or emotion?

And since we are moving
in circular motion,
does it not mean we are
always returning
to the original station?

Which means,
that even if we have grown so tall,
We have actually never moved at all?
