Perhaps everything is an illusion. Perhaps when we die, our heart stops beating, And the ones whom we loved will remain gone, Forever seeping into nothingness, All of our progress and future destroyed, And the last things we see are loved ones’ tears. Perhaps everything is an illusion, And when cheap bodies finally collapse, Our souls will drift away and not shatter Like a glass thrown, broken to painful shards. We would taste the sky and come down to Earth, Ever-watching our seeds blossom to life. Perhaps everything is an illusion, And all our worst nightmares of Hell lie true. Fully tricked, our unfaithful souls are plunged Down and away, forever hence in pain. We suffer for our fated insolence By eternal, unforgiving torment. Perhaps everything is an illusion. Perhaps all of our knowledge is static, Buzzing across our accidental lives. We sleep and dream chemical reactions, And nothing can be proved, but everything Is plotted in great detail, like a map. Perhaps everything is an illusion, And after we die, we know no better. We walk around blindly in our own dreams, Cradling our brains, thirsty for knowledge. We could cut off our dreams like cords of life, And stop the tears from falling when we die. Perhaps everything is an illusion. Perhaps the notion of illusions is One in itself. Perhaps our language and Our senses and our perception of our Reality is an extremely small Piece of actual existence. Perhaps. my writings |

Reminds me of my brother when we were small. "Well how do you know we are real?" Drove me crazy. I guess we aren't supposed to know it all as yet. Joyce |

Even imagining infinite space and/or infinite time is beyond our comprehension. That is why we must live by faith! Grover. |

perhaps if there weren't the hope of heaven, I would not have want to live... thought provoking write |

 (smiles) But perhaps, perhaps it's not an illusion, perhaps it's all part of the grand scheme of life to edify us and help us to appreciate all the blessings further! (big angel hugs) Yay, God Bless You, this is a wonderfully contemplative poem, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet David, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
