Illusions And Facts Poem by Abhijit Surve

Neither think about the days that have passed away,
Nor much about the future and what awaits next day..
Why think we have no time, and make our life a mess,
Failure to achieve more, does not mean you made less..

Life is not a living tragedy, why make it loose it's sheen,
Read your heart for once, you'll know what life does mean..
It is not life that changes us, this is all our choice,
We choose to remain silent, when our mind is full of noise..

We are our own enemies and it's not time that betrays,
The sketches that we impose is all that life portrays..
We know the world often changes, nothing stays the same,
Here if we don’t adapt to it, then who really is to blame..

One truth of life is all that starts, someday has to end,
If reality is this fact, then why do we choose to pretend..
We hallucinate the false truth and live a life of illusions,
Leave aside solving the issues, we find problems for solutions..

We know time has worn out history and nobody stays forever,
Then why run behind dreams like fools, when we are so clever..
We have to drift away sometime, this routine is the same,
When our ashes turn to thin air, all that remains is our name..

Why complicate this life, trying to find success in each defeat,
Accept losses and clear your past, keep everything simple and neat..
What makes you feel so proud, that you are now second to none,
Perhaps the time has come and gone, when things are said and done..

Is there any way out of these walls, full of mirrors with no door,
The time to change is upon us, but is there little hope any more..
Look in the direction of the sun, there is an open window pane,
Look right through it and you'll see a small shady narrow lane..

To where this road leads your life, is only for you to find,
Get your feet out of this maze you need to sync your heart and mind..
Thinking wrongs of life you should have stopped and thought for a while,
If there's so much space for tears, can there be a little space for a Smile..
