Visible Disappearance

[A poem by Mr. T.S.S. Murty titled ‘Visible Disappearance’.]

It’s so natural to be thirsty,
Can one quench it when it’s all frosty?
Or, may be it’s all sand dunes
Can one quench it with their shines?

A hunter too is sometimes lost;
When in thirst, does depend on the forest,
Feeds a monkey a salt tablet
To follow it to a pond or a rivulet.

It is this natural source of water
That quenches the thirst with real matter;
However one runs after and chases its source,
Sympathy is still a mirage that vanishes with no trace!

It’s a phenomenon of light,
A ‘no product’ of a different element;
This realisation stops the chase,
If not, it’s a labyrinth, a menacing maze!
