Just An Illusion - October 31

It stands before me in my mind

For this is what I see

The perfect image of a world

Created just for me

Too great to speak I’m without words

In which I can describe

This part of me that’s never free

Forever caught in time

But it’s just an illusion

That passes the time away

A strange illusion

That’s with me everyday

It’s just an illusion

That traps me in my dreams

Just an illusion, a thought, a fantasy

For I’ve existed in this world

Just waiting for the day

That I’d become the messenger

For all there was to say

And now I’ve waited for my chance

To re-invent the dream

To re-establish thoughts of hope

With every breath I breathe

Yes, wishful thinking brings me hope

And leaves me to my dreams

For it’s my way of letting go

And passing time with ease

But there’s no saving what’s been lost

To what we call mankind

Yet fantasies are always free

And dreaming is my mind
