Mirage

Ties like delicate threads,

They dance out of your fingertips

They

Pull

You

Closer,

Closer,

Closer,

To that cloud that

Always

Wavers

Out of your touch

It’s so close-

So close from leaving

Your line

Of

Sight.

Even though you chase it,

Day after day

After day.

After day.

Even though your refuse

To

Let

Go

Of your breaking strings,

Even though you pursued it,

Like a child,

Like a family in denial.

Even though they tell you

To

Let

Go

Before you

Get

Left

Behind.

Even though they

Tell you

Of the

Pain

You’ll

Feel.

Even though it’s just a mirage

Just a mirage

Just a mirage

Just a mirage

Even though.

Even then.

Even now.

You

You look to the sky,

The sun glaring in

Your

Eyes.

It knows you better

Than anyone else

On this

Godforsaken

Planet.

Its light reaches further.

Stronger,

Than any faltering light

That has ever tried to reach you.

It sears your eyes

With its burning contact.

Its light is branding.

It know when you are tired

It felts the smudges of a sleepless black

From your mind’s eyes.

It knows that there is no happiness

In the reaches of your lips

Because it warms them with

Its

Gentle

Kiss

Warms them into joy

And happiness

And even as its light fades,

Even as you watch it steadily drift away,

You know that it is still there

Just beyond

Your

Sight

Watching over you.

And you know

You

Are

Not

Alone.
