ILLUSSIONS


Dreams of yesterday
Shadows painted on memories
Flavors tasted and remembered
A touch, An emotion still felt

How do we change what has happened
Decisions not well remembered
Actions forgotten
Time distorted

Do we exist tomorrow
Is now a fantasy
She spoke many words
How many were real

Does today�s judgment
Reflect a future seen
Or a past never known
A mistake held close

To release it
Let the mistake go
Wisdom is in experience
Dream of dreams and tomorrow may come
