TRUTH

Truth is a sliver of light
On the mirror of water.
Truth is a wee dot,
Beyond sight's capture.
Truth is a dream, at night,
At dawn, it is over.
Truth is the horizon, distant,
No one can find ever.

Suffering in thirst,
We follow a mirage,
And get lost in a desert,
With no trace of passage.

We wait in a dark den,
To see a gleam of light.
But, mistake lightning
For a true light.
