An Illusion













The tranquil seas also cause the tsunami,
The pleasant breeze,also the hurricane,
The sacred fire,also mass destruction,
The savior rain,also the dreadful floods,
Nature says "There is no such place as safe!"

Majestic structures reduced to dust overnigtht,
Explosions wiping out cities,
Giants of the industry now insolvent,
The invincible accept defeat.
Man echoes the sentiment.

Despite all this,
I dwell in my zone of comfort,
Clinging on to monotony,interpreting it as safety.
Unwilling to risk my imaginary stability..
It is time for me to be jolted out of it!

I didnt really intend to do that.But I guess your most dominant thoughts always cloud your writing.I am certainly obsessed with decisions,doubts,risks and perceptions..:)
