Tapestry - Illusions

by Shernaz Wadia

Illusions - by Shernaz

I wander through life

Looking for something;

Listening for a note musical,

Under the languor of my

Soporific existence…

I gloat I have found it; till

On a fateful day it strikes

Nothing is as it appears

So much is still amiss.

Illusions – by Avril

Am I just dreaming

the play in which I’m acting?

Life, a wondrous

yet oft fearful production

I see, I feel

I have a voice

But it is all so finite

No trace left

when I bow out.

Tapestry – by Shernaz and Avril

As I wander through life

am I just dreaming?

Nothing is as it appears

in the play in which I’m acting.

Under the languor of my

soporific existence,

life is a wondrous

yet oft fearful production.

Listening for a note musical

I see, I feel.

I gloat I have found it!

Yet my voice

keeps searching for something.

But, it is all so finite…

No trace will be left

and so much will be amiss

when I bow out

on one fateful day
