It Isn't Time That's Passing -- Ruskin Bond

Guest poem sent in by Ankur Agrawal , as part of the Poems

(Poem #1364) It Isn't Time That's Passing
 Remember the long ago when we lay together
 In a pain of tenderness and counted
 Our dreams: long summer afternoons
 When the whistling-thrush released
 A deep sweet secret on the trembling air;
 Blackbird on the wing, bird of the forest shadows,
 Black rose in the long ago summer,
 This was your song:
 It isn't time that's passing by,
 It is you and I.
-- Ruskin Bond
This poem has all the trappings of any Ruskin Bond prose: the creation
of vivid images from nature to convey emotions, an elegance born out of
simplicity, nostalgia and yearning for old friends.  Like most of his
other writings which I read as a schoolboy, this doesnt fail to strike
a chord instantly.

A subtle romance poetry. Not until reading to the end do we know it's all about the never-fading love between a couple.
