Mirages

The path to paradise

In directly through hell

And it's mirages

In its mirages:

horizons, approaching shoreline!

That are not really there.

Unknowingly, every time,

you go

And labor to arrive

But it's just a mirage

In hell

Of what you thought

Was paradise!

Is my faith the true mirage?

Am I a fool to believe

or is it cosmic comic

classic imperfection

but, yes

I am real

and no, my faith

is no mirage.

That's the devil

In your eye

In your mind

You're the joke

The piece

That can be sacrificed

But there is love

And there is time

And wells where

People heal

And not everybody

Even gets there

And some just

Hold it inside their heart

Like a promise.
