Mirage Water Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Mirage water
Tuesday,17th Aug 2021

What we see is not actual reflection
it is simply an illusion
like mirage water
but no water in desert

we are always deceived
and not well received
with the reality
we may interpret it differently

it is said 'give and take'
there is no other take
neither water nor the mirror
present the actual reflection there

it is deceptive reflection
not arising out of real action
it may present what is seen!
and not what apparently is hidden

let us make our life simple
it should be the part of an individual
what he says and does that matters
and not what he utters
