An Illusion Or Reality? Poem by Ramesh T A

Distant look enchants the view but at close look it’s different;
Even drawing a picture or singing a song or writing looks easy;
But when practically undertaken to do so the truth is known!

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder though in reality it’s not so;
So many things we see in the world are all illusions only we know
After we have experience in world life and gain wisdom by time!

Not knowing lust and love many fall in the pit in life and suffer;
Self restraint or tolerance teaches the difference between the two;
But caught by urgency and desire many lose precious life earlier!

Friend and foe move close to many in the world without difference;
After losing one’s time, energy and money one knows who is true;
But if one is able to know the difference is fortunate in life to live!

Finding difference between illusion and reality first all have to know;
That only helps all know how to reach the hobour of success at the end!
