Mirage

 

Amber skies turn pearl grey .
Symphonize the scattered remains.

Had yet the mind to awaken full...

Elegance breathes its last

Silver linings lost, astray-

Heave a sigh, mist wallows

Olden memories, turn to dust

Leer the vultures, close to home

Deceiving dacoits, words all hollow.

Under the noose, a shaking skeleton

Pity all who behold sans larmes.

Mindful revelations, to a loss of mind

Youth has lost what the child had won.

Wonder how the time finds its way

Around shifting mirages of peace

Yielding power to human hands.
