Ignorance
All illusions are dreams
All dreams- illusions…
A piece of rope that was
On view in the light,
Dawned on to me
As a coiled snake
In the darkness
Of my ignorance
Of my yester life-
Yester night...
The dawn inside me
Is still in daze...

i like the two last lines, Kesav...so lovely! This Poem is like Philosophy! it depends on how we look at things: a plane from very far, to my opinion is a big black point, others would still say that that is a plane...Well thought poem, another Jewel!

Illusion, a sleight of hand, to clever for our ignorance, but we have to act upon what we see, even if we wake up with a shock. Clever writing, but it still has beauty of your chosen words.

the first two lines and the last two are really philosophical. We need illusions to survive in this world as reality in all its nakedness is at times difficult to face. In such a state our nerves are on edge The dawn inside me Is still in daze... dawn is dazed for you don't recognise it- it's another day!

How impressed am I with this great truth within this highly immaculately pressed poem. You have to come out of the daze by dawn, Kesav

Yes I believe it is a daring truth from the past that can't be hidden from our knowing. The coiled snake and darkness make for stunning imagery Kesav!
