Evanscent Poem by RAJ NANDY

EVANSCENT
Infinity gets distilled and congeals into
life,
But life itself is evanescent and evaporates
with time!
Like the soap bubbles which floats, -
Carrying a child’s dream;
Our ephemeral life is but only a waking
dream!
As the minutes chase the hours and
hasten to their end,
Embracing the eternal shores, -
A life of false pretence!
Our life of wish fulfillment is but a dream,
All things are illusory, for things are not
what they seem!
