I live with the premise that,
Life has some meaning,
That time is not stealing,
Instead it’s revealing.

But...

Inside the mirage
Is where we reside.
The waves of our time
Just keep drifting by…

We’re washed up to dry
On the desert’s hot shore
Where the visions we see
Are so hard to ignore.

The illusion resides
In the depths of our minds
Where reason dissolves
And mystery evolves.

The tempest we see
When we look deep inside
Is all just a dream
That our memories abide.

Just let the words flow
As they appear in your mind
They’re your grand design

Life finds its meaning
In the tales we are weaving
Unleash your story

Love at the doorstep
I am here on your doormat
Just ringing your bell

These three simple lines
From the pages of my mind
Were so hard to find
Sometimes the obvious is so unobtainable.

poet.

I was broken into

one.
