Song of my life

With every step I take,
A new illusion I make
Decorate it with jewels
Sparkling glittering lies
With my eyes closed
I see a fantastic world
As belief seeps through
I paint life in many hues

This world of mine
In darkness brightly shines
With the first ray of light
Disappears.. like moonshine
Or like a morning dew
Precariously clinging on the vine
Dreams.. yet not.. its shallow
feelings imagined, a void.. hollow..

As each illusion break
making this imaginary world disappears
Like the snowflake
on the porch
As horizons clear
Broken dreams strewn in its wake
And I shed a lonely tear
My companions dear..


I create a new illusion..
yet again,
With every new step I take
