The view of if..

 

After the deceptive glitter goes away

And your hour turns murky towards dusk

Then you look skywards and find me

Once the blindfolding dazzle dips in  horizon

And sprays the grey ink on your canvas

I , the blank corner of blurring hues , stay on

For I was always here , you could see me

Only now when the twilight dawns

And spreads her darker veil on faces

Now if my silver enchants you in dark

It is only the light of your day I preserved

Till now that holds my shine and sparkle

Only if you stretch your sight beneath

These sheets of confounding silver

I remain unlit and full of craters

That somehow reflect your plight

For I always remain as you are

That is what is me forever

If for once you could be me

Then you would see the blue orb

That rises as if it is your eye that opens

Then I can reflect with your dreams

That lie with my life for them

If once you would see in the eyes of mine..
