The Glimpse In Deception
An endless land afloat on river
And all the life living together
Yet gradually shift by an invisible line
Leave all behind harmony livelihood.
An abstraction of light movement.
Look into the shadows of imagination.
Gathering, disintegrating, and fading.
Listen to the frenetic chirping of hundreds of birds
A glowing mandala light, spinning in the wilderness.
Three sharp rings, radiating from a deep center.
But look closer at the glowing lines.
It is an illusion of barbed wire.
A political boundary, internalized.
Mesmerizing, yet inescapable.
A static line on a map becomes a living scar.
A digital restriction that is simultaneously a cage
and a silent pathway.
Look into the mirror. Touch the sand.
An equal measure of hope and sadness.
Find your own relationship with change and inevitable loss.
We look at the space, the vast cosmic glow,
Where energy vibrates and river currents flow.
As humans we long for a thread to connect,
While some try to own what they cannot protect.
A radial rhythm, a bright spinning wheel,
A kaleidoscope blending the raw and the real.
With color and texture, with light and line movement,
A planet is melting, refusing improvement.
In this quiet process, introspective and deep,
I see that the universe secrets will keep.
For nothing is lasting, it all fades away,
Except for the starlight and sun’s ancient ray.
A mirror of Earth, where the seconds pass by,
And things end unnoticed beneath the wide sky.
It seems so depressing, it feels full of grief,
But truth is a shadow that brings us relief.
So live out your life in the flash of the spark,
Accepting the ending that waits in the dark.
Lean into the current, let go of the pain,
And dance in the light that will always remain.
