An Illusion of Words

An Illusion Of Words A girl No way to know her age Her looks are years younger than her Her mind smarter that her age Her beauty is timeless among the ages She sits and writes day after day Places words in just the right place She laughs at her ideas She cries at how her writings play out She is alone among a multitude of friends Her thoughts jump between life and death Love and hate War and peace No one knows how her mind works It is only a guess to tell how she feels She doesn’t want anyone to know her She is a ghost walking among the living A spirit that can only be held in the mind And that is how she will stay Just an illusion of words
