Mirage

In a few moments
                below a star studded sky
                one calm night
                listening to crickets sing
                you pass an eternity.

The humdrum drone
                of butterfly wings
                the cry of a lone bird
                wends its way somewhere
                deep in your soul.

You can’t retain
                the water-drops on a lotus leaf
                but they leave behind
                a delicate tenderness
                like broken hearts.

Moments in life
                You chase a long forgotten dream
                like paths twisting and turning in a wood
                leading nowhere
                you chase a mirage.
