Seeming calm, yet dancing on ripples
A tiny splash distorts it all
How long can this illusion last?

A pure white road, leading to an oasis
Torn down by a passing breeze
How long can this illusion last?

A silent meadow, untainted by others
Drowned out by intrusive thoughts
How long can this illusion last?

A worn out mirror with stains and cracks
A stiff smile forever lingering in the reflection
How long can this illusion last?
