ILLUSIONS DANCE

A river running through
Somehow I sense only you
A thought that crystallizes
A certain illusion now in view

Fog clears away and meets day
Seeing onto the shores of distraction
Finding essential eternal essence
As one perseveres to find reality

Illusions dance upon the mist
Clearing away to reveal truth
A plethora of gifts splayed out
Previously covered in a haze

Seeing you now so clearly
Walk upon the sandy shore
Finding our way to loving arms
Holding on tight yet unrestrained

Freeing our wings to allow flight
Marking our special destination
To remember how to find home
In the eyes of a beloved friend

Knowing the refuge of love awaits
So one can soar and explore all
See the world fulfilling desires
Fueling the eternal fire and flame

Now wings fly free and bold
Soaring over new terrain
Because in our hearts we hold
In each other we have found
Peace upon our sandy shore
