Illusion

     Illusion                      

    From the womb of a craving mind

    Feb by Hope, nurtured by Fear

    Is born the enigma of Illusion

     

    With time and Times, and the World around

    You realize, the Illusion isn't just one

    They grow with You, They grow on You

    Four colored walls and a glass ceiling

    And a mirage for a floor to plod on

    Control, Success, Love, Fame
    Mine, Yours and the Forever delusion      
    Holding on with Fear, to a World outside
    The emptiness we eventually leave behind

    Destiny, Plans, Luck, Meant-to-be
    Attempts at belief, while there is none
   Holding on to Hope, the convenience of letting go
   The Life that is.....and the one that goes by

    The content of Acceptance, devoured by the hunger of Aspiration
    Past and Future, Dictators in a commanding Collusion
    The Present wanders alone, in search of Redemption,
    The guiding Light of Truth, that lurks in the shadow of Illusion

Bringing up 75 posts in this blog with this one. The last 25 posts have taken roughly four and a half years. But then, a lot of them have also received heart-warming responses from you. It feels great when you reach out saying you connected with the post. The post has then fulfilled its purpose! Writing is a life long project. I only hope I'm able to write more, write better and write to connect with you!
