ILLUSION


Pick a card any card
And let me fool you
With this concept of illusion
Let me take your mind
Out of the natural word
And make you believe that
Fantasies are reality and that
Our minds can be elsewhere when they can’t
When our minds can only go
As far as imagination allows it
And for those without imagination
Their minds only allow them to go
Where their ignorance follows you may ask me why and the reason is
Illusion A deceptive appearance or impression
Letting a mind see a forest of hope in the simplicity of the color green
Letting a mind see a sea of broken dreams in the simplicity of the color blue
Tricking our minds into believing something was there and then disappeared out of no where
Tricking our minds to see beyond
The exact nature of things or seeing nothing at all.
