Illusion

We are not what we see.

Illusion

By: Lorraine Pearson

With the heart
Behold
The very seed

A universe of me

Watch me stately 
In a scene
Only acting
Like a Queen!

But-

All is illusion
There's no rule
Sometimes 
I play the fool...

Before the screen

That's been devised
To hypnotize
More than eyes
Its the demise
Stripping the mind
Leaving it

Wanting…
Waiting

I am
All that is
Inside
Seen
Without the eyes!

Reach out- feel me...

I am not:
What I do

Nor

Who you see
I am not a definition-
Describing-
Any part of me!

...But

I am being
I am human
I am living

Inside me

I am woman
I am open...

I am breaking through a destiny.

[Forest Green]

Soul searching at its finest. Personal words that bring a glimpse of the author that is both revealing and compelling.

Good work!

Wow. You speak as a woman who has gone through 'rebirth' of soul. I feel such a kindred spirit to you in your words.
