Mirage Surprise

I thought mirages appeared only in the scorching desert heat but today right from Our very own comfy vehicle seat I spotted several, one after another upon the paved tarmac street! Each mirage vanishing upon our nearing the midst of the clearing Each pool of water shimmered as a ray of hope glimmered that we touch that shiny water with our car tyre! So we literally chased mirages like in a wild goose chase. A divine light trick of sun rays Ah, all the phenomena He created lying there waiting to be appreciated. Gleaming glinting puddles in the midst of the road all the way till we reached our abode. (Mind you this poem isn't metaphorical this is the actual phenomenon of mirages and they're a sight quite special. Viewable via eye and camera lens yet untouchable I've lived in three regions of Africa, West, East and South This mirage made me think of the North Where desert dunes abound, deserts with no river mouth.
