Illusions of Reality
It was under a tree,
in the park,
that I sat, and watche.
They gathered and talked,
they danced, and fought,
and it was all a part of a plan,
the illusion of reality.
There we were, all in black,
in one place, bidding the time.
All had our place, our part of it,
those who knew what was taking place,
they kept silent.
We all waited, for some sign,
and then it rained.
And the heavens opened,
and poured their souls to us.
I starred into the sky,
to the dark clouds,
into the midnight of a storm.
The sun came, the sun went.
The stars flashed, and the moon rose.
And in the end, they all vanished.
The night became the day,
and I saw dawn's fingers on the horizon.
And under my tree I stood,
I spread my arms,
and my eyes peered into the brihgt sun.
The rays reached out,
past the shadows,
into my soul.
The star took me in,
I became one with dawn,
and I was united with them all.
We were back,
once again a part of the illusion of reality.
