Something Worth Thinking

At times…
The world appears,
With varying rhymes,
But, instantly disappears.
Mystical at times
Fantastical at times;
Fictional at times;
Fanatical at times;
Yes, often I wonder
Is it an illusory thunder,
Or the thought’s blunder.

The wavering mind acts
At times, it looks right,
But its fickle character
Removes all the glitter,
And keeps fluctuating
Betwixt nothing and something.
Let us realize this and react
Yes, let us awaken our wit;
It’s something worth thinking
To balance life and keep going.

Ashok Chakravarthy Tholana
