Whispers of Illusion

A Dance of Shadows

By Black RosePublished about a year ago 1 min read

I am an illusion, 
Like a shadow walking beside you, 
Yet I’m never really there. 
You’ve tried to understand me, but not completely, 
You’ve seen me in the mist of the moon, 
But in the bright light of the sun, 
You failed to see my true form. 

Are your eyes caught in a magical web? 
Do you know what it means to be lost in a trance? 
I am a riddle, 
Fading into dreams like smoke, 
Yet trapped in the bubble of reality. 
A mystical game, 
An invisible force you can’t touch. 

You search for me in the darkness of night, 
Under faint stars, where shadows aren’t just shadows. 
But in the sunlight, I disappear, 
You can’t see me at all. 
I’m close to you, yet far away, 
Always an illusion, 
A silent hidden shadow, 
Existing only in the world of your imagination.
