Illusion, is where we all are

An illusory world, with illusory mirrors

Reflecting illusory walls.

Beaches of milk

Seas of coal,

Sky of  fire

Just an illusion

Look through the fog

Peer into the mist

Fleeting shadows inhabit these realms but they’re an illusion

Is the past an illusion ?

Time gone before that was rushed through unseen

Gone in an illusionary blur

Look to the future 

Stare into the darkness

Nothing to see

But illusory events

Translucent forms 

In peripheral vision slipping out of reach

Look in the pool 

Deep?

Is it real, is it solid

Hand plunged through the mirror surface to grasp a handful of silver

That slips away when withdrawn 

Silver orbs evaporating as dew in the morning sun.

An illusion
