| A MIRAGE - THIS LIFE
Life, a hazy mirage
seized by some poignant
or some memorable
junctures, mostly haunting.
a tiny silhouette
embedded in a rock it seems,
lifeless & it's called life
still.
so calm, yet clamouring to be
lived,
to taste all the lessons which it
can give.
sometimes an angel, showing
affection,
but even a devil sometimes giving
atrocious circumstances.
like a broken tap placed on a
deserted highway.
no water, yet a nomad, tired
& wet
checks it & returns in vain.
yes, some kind of enigma is there
an elusive mystery, ready to be
deciphered
but still gives so much pain.
it's enchanting, yes this life,
seems like a glowing ball of fire.
shelled by a bewitching light,
enveloped by an aura, so
captivating
& wearing a sultry attire.
but...it is doomed, it will die one
day
& will take with it all it's
prey.
this life, full of sorrows, full of
poignant
ready to entrap our souls
& we endure just to gather some
memories
& to reach some goals.
we exist to find ourselves,
to take all that it can give.
we laugh, we cry, we curse but, yet we still live. ~Nidhi~ The Author has copyright ©
