Myth Vs Reality

(Varun Jain 72)

As the mirror unveils
The truth that it reveals
Is a paradox so intricate
Seems like it has been fabricate
Betraying the notions
Free from the shackles of emotions
The domain of which remains infinite
Unfathomable though it is but aptly petite
The threads of siblings intermingled
Interwoven to make the fabric of life
Deceptive perception guides
B'coz what we assume reality has in fact a different light
The difference is so slight
But its impact is what is might
The reality of life is myth in which we reside
And we are in search of the truth that reality hides
And when the truth is realized
What we assumed myth turns out to be reality penalized
That is the beauty of life
The reality of the myth of life

/*the background of the poem:
When we seem our image in the mirror then the image that it reveals is true as well as false.The comparison of reality and myth of life is compared here with the actual person and the image which the mirror unveils.Our image is free from all the shackles .It can take any shape any form...It is infinite and unfathomable(gotta c urself in barbers'shop where the mirror reveals u layer after layer...reflection after reflection).Myth and reality are here compared as siblings b'coz they accompany each other in every aspect of life.The deceptive perception here is termed as the decisions of life that we make which though at the instant seem to be right but in the end turn out to be a myth.This is the beauty of life...Here it means that the image that the man was visualizing is his trueself and he himself is in fact a myth...*/
