Mirage and Magic

ojaswi 2003 (India)



The art of illusion, a beauty to behold,
A craft of deception, so cleverly bold.
It can make you laugh, it can make you surprise,
And transport you to worlds beyond the skies.

With sleight of hand and tricks of the eye,
The impossible becomes real, it's no lie.
The mind is deceived, but oh what fun,
To marvel at the magic that's just begun.

But even in the midst of such illusion,
Reality has a way of causing confusion.
As a deer falls in a mirage's trap,
The art of deception loses its clap.

For even in its beauty, we must not forget,
That life and death is an unbreakable set.
But the art of illusion lives on, a masterful show,
A tribute to the power of imagination and the flow.
