Life's A Mirage

LIFE'S A MIRAGE

As I move around

In a solitary confinement

Life’s desire seems to confront me.

I move towards a newer destination

Success still seems to elude me.

I visualise hopes of many oases

But as I move much closer

Towards these springs of water

The mirage of life moves farther.

Each one views it

In ones own inimitable way.

What’s the imaginary vision?

That comes up by ones’ path way?

And in gleeful imagination

As I move closer

The hallucination moves further.

What this optical illusion is to a desert,

That’s a real hope for me.

This vision in my life

Is an oasis of salvation?

I have still to cope

With many a vast horizon

The illusion moves away

I shall capture it some day.
