Mirage
July 9, 2015
Sometimes I feel myself slipping away
Caught up in a mirage
Caught up in things that don't matter
Sometimes the real picure evaporates
And replaces it with emptiness, for a moment or two
Before it comes back
It can be hard to know which vision is real
Or possible
And which are only in my head
The wind sweeps through our lives
And changes the foundation, in time,
To new images
Sometimes the old linger too
And we can keep them in sight if we choose
Or take a new direction,
And let them drift behind.

This poem is about fears, changes and expectations. It's also about letting go of worries, the things we can't predict.
