Illusions

And Dreams

Illusions

while lost in an illusion

a dream I counted on

erasing the confusion

just waiting for the dawn

*

the rising of the sun

cascading a new vision

as fantasy becomes

a needed intervention

*

both spring and fall bring change

new life through circumvention

a chance to rearrange

with detail to attention

surreal poetry

    Love the rhyme and rhythm of this, and how each stanza has its own mini-message. Linking the sleep and dreams and waking up themes with the seasons and change later on is cool too! “as fantasy becomes a needed intervention” is a great line. Nice😊

  • Such glorious transformations. Not to pay attention is to commit grievous sin against them.
