ILLUSIONS (Dana)
by Rhondda Lake

Golden bright convictions led,
Me to you, your truths to shred.
Shadows shifted, round me enfold,
Lost I took your hand to hold,
Peering at darkened visions.

Reason's light I shine ahead,
To face shades I've come to dread.
You see patterns as the veils fall,
Leaps of mind, revealing all,
As gossamer illusions.

Lies that all around us wind,
Misdirection hopes to blind.
Obscure figures smother the soul,
I look to you, keep me whole.
See me through just one more day.

Trust no one but you and me,
At each turn we chase or flee.
Constant struggle, no end in sight,
Can aught we do make things right?
Is it worth the price we pay?


End.
