In "Time," a mesmerizing collection of poetry, the concept of time is explored in all its complexity and depth. Through a series of eighteen evocative poems, the poet delves into the various dimensions of time, from its philosophical implications to its emotional resonance in human lives.
The journey begins with "Time," a contemplation on the elusive nature of this universal force. From there, the collection delves into the darker aspects of time in "Time the Cause of Decay" and "Time as the Cause of Death," where the relentless march of time is depicted as both a creator and destroyer.
However, time is not merely a passive force; it is personified and imbued with energy in "Time Personified" and "Time the Energy of Absolute." These poems explore time as a dynamic and powerful entity, shaping the course of human existence and the universe itself.
The poet also delves into the subjective experience of time in "The Perception of Time," examining how individuals perceive and interact with this abstract concept.

Throughout the collection, themes of relativity and mystery permeate the verses. "Relativity" delves into the interconnectedness of time and space, while "Mysteries of Time" invites readers to ponder the enigmatic nature of this fundamental aspect of existence.
As the poems progress, the dual nature of time becomes apparent. "Time a Dimension" and "Time as Unknown" delve into the paradoxical nature of time, while "Time the Reason of Joy and Sorrows" explores how time can bring both happiness and sorrow.
Ultimately, "Time" is a profound exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human existence. Through its lyrical prose and thought-provoking themes, this collection invites readers to contemplate the nature of time and its profound impact on our lives.

Time is a collection of poems by Vikas Parihar that delve into various aspects of the concept of time. Despite being an unseen force, time holds immense power, magnitude, and significance in our universe and lives. The poems describe it as a sculptor that molds things, the heartbeat of the universe, and the creator of seasons. It has a mysterious nature, dictating death and decay, destiny and fate, joy and growth. Even though battles have raged between empires, and kings have come and gone, time still reigns supreme. It is a paradox that scientists cannot explain, despite coming up with terms such as relativity, quantum flow, and various equations. Its dimensions are beyond infinity; it is more than just the past, present, and future.
Time is a beautiful collection that captivates readers and offers a unique perspective on time. Vikas Parihar skillfully uses words to create vivid imagery that evokes deep emotions and contemplation. The poems are sure to leave a lasting impact on anyone who delves into this book. What sets this collection apart is the interconnectedness and progression of the poems. Each poem builds on and adds a new layer to the previous one, creating a smooth flow that makes the book engaging to read. The continuity and development are what make this book unforgettable. It is always inspiring when a series of works come together seamlessly to create a cohesive narrative. The division of poems into titled stanzas and cantos is also a unique touch that I have never come across. This is truly a memorable read that I thoroughly enjoyed. Great work!
