In the Desert

“Comrades, friends, ahoy!” The grand old desert echoes your full-throated call The great sand-dunes are relegated to tiny shapes Under the giant tyrant, the lonely Sun Even more insignificant is your withered body An ocean of thirst greets it; these are the times When you discover yourself governed by mirages All through your life, your myriad face Parched by desires and lusts and longings Go, run to find the oasis, it’s here, all the time it’s here!

Very touching...inspiring..."mirage" and "oasis" set in opposition . We have to choose right one from two contrasting entities though they look similar by our illusion.We must act on reason. Thank you Prasenjit . Love
