Bewildered by what she cannot be

Reflections in the glass, mirror only me

Cast aside, she’ll watch the others play

Curious thoughts still gather her way

Wondering why they have left her alone

No one to talk with, here on her own

Somber and lonely, she sits and she dreams

The only true friends are illusions, it seems

Is there a place I can wander to,

Where no one else can find me?

A place that I can call my own,

Where chains no longer bind me?

Somewhere I can just relax

Kick back and breathe awhile

Take in subtle calming breezes

Just sit, and write, and smile

I need to find myself again

Though I’m not sure if I can

Perhaps I never really roamed

And this is all God’s plan

So I will take some time to think

And hope for a simple solution

That my life is really what I make of it

And that place, is just an illusion

Fantasy Daze

Unleash your inner fantasy

Unlock the hidden door

Open up imagination

Find what you look for

Mysterious illusions

Play a game of hide and seek

Only you know what to look for

A risk not for the meek

Fear can conquer with a breath

If you let it come inside

Chase away the evil thoughts

No longer will they hide

Or dwell within the confines

Of your imaginary haze

Fantasy unlocks the doors

In a magical, mystical daze

Forest Ruse

Along this forest path I roam
The spirits gather, unbounded
Through the mist, creeping
Their spindled arms reaching
Nowhere can I run, surrounded

Clutching at me with their thorns
Denying my passage of right
Desolate, lonely, forlorn
They cry in the silence of night

Yet as darkness grows dimmer
And morn starts to shimmer
The illusion fades in the light

It approaches
Lingering shadows
Filling the blackness
Haunting illusions
Filling empty spaces
Surrounding the innermost
Profound secrets
Hiding in the night
