MIRAGE

 
There comes a time in a man's life when joy is simply out of reach
The same things that caused him hysterical laughter in moments past,
Bring him nothing but sorrow
No matter how huge his earnings, he still can't afford a smile
Moments when the heart gets itself entangled in the web of frustration
And the dormant soul awakes, only to find itself in the tempest
Cohesion that exists between the body and soul,
that binds the various parts into a whole
Falls apart like an outnumbered army
A time in a man's life that makes him wish he were never born
His mind and soul are set ablaze like the flag of a fallen colony
In moments like this, all that seemed so close appear to be very distant
Hopes of achieving lingers
Like a sprinter in the midst of cross country heroes
Your strength can't save you
The fire doesn't seem to burn
Neither does the sun seem to scorch
The trees refuse to bear fruits
And the fruits do not suffer their seeds to meet the earth
In such moments, we cast our minds back for causes
But the answers are just not there!!!
