I saw it.
Right in front of me.
As clear as the blue sky above,
the endless ocean of sand and
the countless waves of the sea
at my feet...
I saw it.
Shining bright
Like warm sunlight.
I saw it.
Just at arm's reach.
A few steps away.
So, I walked towards it
and reached for it
with my arm.
Trying to touch it
and hold it in my hand.
It was nothing.
Just emptiness.
Vacuum.
A void.
A mirage
An illusion
Imagination perhaps!
Maybe a dream....
Something I thought exists
But doesn't really .
Something that shone so bright
and blinded me with its dazzling light
Something , that was nothing
But a figment of my wild imagination.
I watch the mirage-
fading into reality.
shattering into a million pieces.
Leaving me disillusioned.
And wiser.
