Mirage

In an evocative verse, Aishwarya talks of the illusions of life vis-à-vis the harsh realities, in Different Truths.

all that I
believed in
was but a dream
a carnival
a fanfare
or so it seemed

I wanted
to capture
all that was
in my vision
I thought I could
but ‘t was my illusion

the further I went
the farther it got
was it a horizon
or a mirage
that which
I sought

I blinked my eyes
a dream was gone
the mask was torn
reality dawned
even before
my thought formed
