the "illusion"

footprints in the sand,
blown away by the indifferent wind,
a sandcastle on the shore,
standing against the wrath of the tide,
as destiny written,
judgment of fate,
the glory, in denial,
would but sink.

the darkness, the glory of the night,
shattered by the un-intent arrogance of the light,
the flow of the mighty river, hindered,
withering the pebble,
audacious, not arrogant, ignorant,
yet choosing to fight.

the power of sight,
clowded by the lack of vision,
failing to see the eyes of the blind,
intuition.
a wish tied to the tail of a shooting star,
overshadowing, a lesson lost in the dim moonlight,
the truth behind the illusion,
the journey,

is but the destination!

  3. nice uncommon pattern of words in the poem, it's the message that touches me more as a reader. it's a message that many of us should be told as well as reminded and what more beautiful way than a peom like this ! eager for more, jinx. how can i be allowed to share your 'the "illusion"' with my friends ??
