ILLUSIONS

Post by Maureen K Clifford » Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:42 pm

I’ve watched the cloud illusions as they’ve drifted overhead
and lost myself in dreams so many times,
sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes don’t even bet.
At times you are euphoric, quite sublime.

And sometimes you feel something’s lost and sometimes things are gained.
At times it seems that you are dizzy dancing,
you’re sometimes twirling, whirling till the world looks slightly strange
and your dreams and schemes are purely you romancing.

But in your saner moments when you take the time to stop
and take the time to firmly get a hold,
you can see your cloud illusions with a small degree of hope,
grasp the concept, the idea, lash out – be bold.

So never be afraid to dream for dream your dreams you must,
otherwise the world will sometimes appear drear.
Embrace the dizzy dancing with an eager childish trust
and trust in life , don’t let illusions disappear.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.
