A Little Ahead
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2005 7:32 am
Once the candles are kindled
The desert trek commences
Across a wilderness of arid dunes
Where unquenchable thirst torments travelers
Who then view the coveted oasis
A little ahead.
A swift run to the scene
Finds though really, nothing
For what was beheld
Is but a mirage
Whose virtual image
Ever hangs
A little ahead
Life’s like an obscure writing on the wall
Sought to be deciphered
A quest for the vain
Amidst the erratic
Answers to which when dug,
More questions seem to be unearthed.
Will the network ever be unraveled?
How it baffles the rational domain
Maybe when the philosopher’s stone is found
When death will itself die
And gold as plenty as sand
Perhaps in the next world
Which they say, lies
A little ahead
