Elusive
In the long journey
of life
Shadows of desires
Always bewitch me
But pebbles of sorrow
Shatter my innocent
desires
Like the image in a broken mirror .
Wandering lonely in the
mountains
With jumbled up thoughts
Looking down upon the dancing waves
Of the blue
sea
The sky, peeping from its bottom
Ebb and tides distract my attention
Like my unfulfilled
desires.
I want to bathe in the fountain of light
To hold on to its
magnificent charm ,
But the fountain of light, I know,
Is an illusion, like
the eternal joy ?
The sunrays passing
through want to cover
All the dispersed leaves and branches of a tree
I, in search of unheralded path of happy valley,
Gathering all the
thoughts together
Look for the eternal
peace,
My
consciousness wavers
And I only behold the shoreless glittering sky
Alas, all is elusive.
