Illusion

Nothing is what you think it is....

 

The sunrise from the east

Or the sunset in the west

Neither rises, nor it sets

But an illusion at its best

 

Going forward in your life

Is actually growing old

Hand you won at the table

Lo! You are about to fold

 

Love of life, lasts a night

Happiness ends with tears

That life never happened

Given to endless fears
