Flowers in still waters,
Vibrant with color and life,
Swaying with the wind,
Proud bordering on the arrogant,
Head raised to the skies,
Pretty only to sight!
Touch and they tremble with fear,
Contorting with panic and trepidation,
Formless reflections,
Lacking the strength of solidity!
Beauty on the surface,
Devoid of fragrance and tenderness,
Totally dependent on the sun and skies,
Deceptive images, ghosts of truth,
Seemingly real with color and shape,
Reflections never become life,
Shapeshifting with every wind that blows,
Wobbling around with the drop of every twig,
Fluttering about lifelessly,
Counterfeit cannot become real,
Without light there is no shadow,
Without reality there is no reflection,
Imaginations of the mind,
Fallacy,
Games the mind plays,
Preying dreams on desires past,
To build alternate realities!
I've often felt that we live in a world deluded in so many ways, not knowing what is truth or real. Not being able to separate the truth from fallacies. Lies hailed as truth and truth relegated to the background labeled as conspiracy. Facts changed to fit the new reality, what a deceived world we live in. Will our eyes ever find the truth or the heart ever seek after the truth? Seekers find, but the deceived remain hoodwinked!
