A Futile Effort To Escape

He was tired of his work

It was getting berserk

Too hectic life had become

Thus, he was finding a way out to run.

Run to a place of tranquility

Resplendent white light falling on him

Lying there in an inexplicable emotion

Reminiscing how soon he has turned old to exhaustion?

Wide awake, he lost in a Reverie

Child inside him, came out lively

As if he had rejuvenated again

As if he had escaped the reality...

Time went still as he gazed

At a world, he wanted to embrace

Soothing effect it produced healed his wounds

But it was only for a moment or two.

Then suddenly, some distant noise created distortion

Oh, look, it was just an illusion

It was just a futile effort to escape

And it rolled down his eyes like an unsaid emotion

Nothing could change, made him restrained

As dejected he was, so he blazed

Grabbed his coat and so he turned

It was his fate, so there he returned
