APPEARANCE AND REALITY br br Two rail tracks run parallel and appear to merge br at the curve, br Light keeps chasing darkness, and at twilight br seem to converge! br The river brims its banks, but the banks never br meet, br While shadows keep chasing substance, and br remains at its feet! br Two hearts may beat under one roof, and yet br beat to different tunes; br The more you try to grasp life, it begins to br elude you soon! br We pass through this finite life and yet think br of the infinite, br Faith and hope keeps us going, for one day we br must unite! br We hope and pray all the while that if not in br this life, br Finally we shall converge in Him in our after br life! br -Raj Nandy br New Delhi br 17 Aug 08br br RAJ NANDYbr br
