I see you,
In the distant sky, 
On the Horizon,
Many a times so very close,
I felt like touching You !
They said;
"You are there  !"
But instead,
I found themselves there !
We have been playing this game since long,
Since times immemorial !
We have been pointing-out the way to it,
-To each-other,
-To one-another.
And every-one fell victim to this illusion,
That every-one else, except him/herself,
Is away from you !
You kept playing this game with us,
All the while !
It brings tears to the eyes of every-one,
-Until one is dead,
And the mourners,
Sometimes see a glimpse of you vibgyor,
In the tears of the dead !
And sometimes in the tears,
That the mourners themselves shed !!
