Mirage





It is real in the mind yet an illusion in time

All visions of the past float along

A pool of mysterious clouds

Carrying fears or tears or rosy illusion

You look down at mountains and valleys

Big cities, small towns and remote villages

To find that lines of high-rises, harbors, rivers and bridges

Are all sitting on layers and layers of fantasy

 

If you see an elephant walking in the stormy ocean floor

And a whale swimming on the extreme hot and dry desert

You know for real that one day they will evolve special ways to survive

In the mirage, like us
