THE ILLUSION THAT’S LIFE
Life is nothing but a series of stairs
that you climb, slow ‘n easy,
thinking that at the next level
you’ll surely find …
that what you’ve been born for!
The endless climbing, the restless seeking
just going on and on …
each turn bringing with it the wild hope
that you’ll surely find, round the next corner,
the treasure trove you’ve been looking for!
Until one fine (or not so fine) day you discover
to your great shock and disappointment
that you’ve been climbing this long
and have reached this high
for … just THIS?
The top of the stairwell - the empty attic,
that holds nothing you’d ever have wanted
and highlighting to you, oh so clearly, that
life is nothing but a mirage, an illusion
you’ve been pointlessly running after!

Aparna, Its up to you, to finally make something of the empty attic.. The attic is empty for a reason..it was waiting for you to reach up there..and do it up exactly the way you would want it to be. Once u are there at the pinnacle..u have the means and the wherewithal to live the rest of ur life as u want to..all u need is the will now.. reaching up there is not the achievement..once there..making a difference is. Sorry, thoda strongly bol diya.
Well said. At least now we do traipse up the stairs of life. In our children’’s time, I”m afraid they will use the lift, at the rate things are moving now.
The more one wants to slow down, the faster the others climb, carrying you along…
I think chalne ka hi naam hai life.. Good that you blogged this poem.. nice message frm worldy wise ppl to young ones like myself
abhishek ur query is also an illusion…well,for some its destination and for some its process.best that we may do is find what works best for us and keep marching :0) on a different note i would like to believe that if you set your eyes on something concrete,the journey will surely seem more assuring.cheers.
I agree with Friendly Ghost. It is the journey, not the destination. I like to refer to life as a trek to the mountain top. The mountain top only gives an aim and ambition..a concrete goal. The word “Trekking” itself does not refer to the mountain top…but the journey. Thats the true synonym to “Life”. It is a little hard to understand if what you have written is optimistic or pessimistic. Please clarify.
True. If we feel Life is about the destination, then it is meaningless. Only if Life is about the journey is it meaningful and rewarding. Warm Regards, Ghost
