In day and night
In the heat and cold
During thunderstorms
Getting battered and battered

Tell me, scarecrow,
How do you maintain
Your dutiful scary look
While keeping your
Soft interior intact?

I have glued my eyes to the horizon
But, there is no sight of the boat yet

Mind conveniently
Evades the question,
How am I to know-
The boat is to arrive

There is no waterway
Anywhere nearby
Where I am waiting

My mind
Completely ignores this
Since its focus is on the boat

Besides, there is a plenty of space
For a boat on the rock
On which I am standing
And I am a resolute
Optimistic thinker

Just by drawing
A few pencil-lines
I can fool human eye
To make them see
A water-drop,
The painter boasted

Just by mixing
A few vibrations
I can fool human ear
To make them hear
Beautiful music
The musician gloated

Just by crafting
A few words together
I can fool human mind
To make them feel
Deep meanings,
The poet joined in

You, plagiarisers,
Stole my non-copyrighted
Tricks of illusions,
Reality groaned
With a nod of approval

In the wall-painting
The water appears real
But I cannot wash
My hands with it

A mind-boggling illusion

On the TV screen
The water is moving
And Making sound
But I cannot bath in it

A superior illusion

In the river,
There is water
I can drink and
Bath in

The ultimate illusion?!

Does the Earth know
That it spins
If so, does it spin
To give us day and night

Does the sky know
That there is no sky
If so, does it mirage itself
Just to reassure us

Does the rainbow know
It exists only in our retinas
If so does it conjure itself
Just to mesmerise us

If anything,
What does this
Little Inquiry suggest
My existence, or
My non-existence

" I think therefore I am"

I think, therefore I am not
I think not, therefore I am
I think not, therefore I am not

I did not see,
My Lord.

Why?

Because of Sun.
