Of Illusion

Illusion throws a ken of light
I’ve often used it as a guide
To light the darkness of the night
In sights just made to please a bride

It throws an arc of rainbow road
A fantasy from out a store
An open hatch of egos mode
Only this and nothing more

Illusion is a desert sight
Desire for a drinks relief
A craving for a phantoms flight
One that touches on belief

It has the sparkle of a jewel
To change the mundane with a splurge
A useful and a handy tool
But only lives the length of surge

I’ve used illusion for its fizz
And would you know just what it is.

Living long enough to know
the fizz of life...
I'd say you still have the ability
to sizzle...

'for its fizz' --- Absolutely.  And that rainbow arc of light too.  You nailed this one, friend.

Ah... but while it surges... it reminds us what we'd have reality be... if only we could. *S*

Beautiful work!!
