Illusions

Did you know that to believe

you take a thought and then do weave

a story from it that does deceive

all in this world, so you may perceive

illusions.

Whatever comes to your mind to think

just know it's gone in another wink.

It's only when you stall and hum

that thoughts cement and thus become

illusions.

Because I'm just a human being

beyond God's thoughts or in between

I find I'm sad or mad or glad

defining this image as full of bad

illusions.

A gal that's happy to be free

of thoughts of you and thoughts of me.

Alone I drift upon the sea

wondering now who holds the key

to illusions.

This nothingness, which I gladly bare

dost keep me dancing in the air

or swimming in the great nowhere

so deep it leaves no one to care

about illusions.

And so I go about this world

a human being whose hair is curled

with thoughts a wandering in fields all pearled

with illusions.
