Why do people get scared of reality
when they see it face to face?
looking back coldly at those eyes
full of curiosity and innocence?
These naïve souls who try to play
with fire, thinking that it’s the small
earthen lamp burning, lighting up home,
get frightened when they see its power.
They think that life is evenly distributed
with the same harmony and rhyme
they try to tally their life with all live
when they are proved wrong they detest.
Reality is just like fire, some places it burns
Low, lights up, warms up and glows
In some places it burns out of bound and
Scorches every soul which comes around.

I am linking this to "Unknown" at my spot! Well done!!! A valid thought!
reality and fire I love the simile!
Beautiful
Provocative thought... I sometimes think our reality is just our thoughts made manifest. When I'm not happy with my reality I try to change my mind instead of throwing fuel on the fire. I'm not always that successful though. Wonderful piece!
Very Very good...I love it. Keep it up!
dear ajey
i have seen these naive persons.. first they demand tell me the truth and when they face it they either dont trust it or laugh at it..
dear d,
thats the only appropriate comparison i found.. and it fits in quite well to me.
dear lea,
i believe how we react to a thing is what we can do.. just like you i too believe in reacting in a way that will be best for all.. then i fail too :) quite often..
thanks a lot zee.
