Bubble of Illusion

“When thoughts cease to flow, where does ego go?” quote given by Unseeking Seeker It seems to me the world today is hardly like I used to know. Not all is bad, but I will say great wickedness is on the flow. Bubble of illusion causing such confusion. There’s a mass delusion! Sane thoughts now flee – it seems to me. May 10, 2022 for Unseeking Seeker's Bubble Of Illusion Poetry Contest A Quietus Poem

The world has changed and values are altered never for the better, but for the worse. We are all chasing after illusions. Great observation, Andrea !

Hi Andrea, I'm happy to see your still writing and encouraging others on the site, and I love where you went with this entry. As a sensitive person who has been around awhile, I can relate...as for where I've been, I wish I had a better answer than the truth (like I've been in Tahiti) but honestly, I just let life get me down, and I lost faith in myself. I'm hoping to get some of it back. It's not the first time. Thanks for asking, and I hope all is good with you. Rhonda xx

I like yours better than mine :) I just couldn't quite get what Seeker wanted, I think. Anyhow, best of luck.

WoW! Andrea, Your well-written write causes one to think of yesterday and our present state. Is it all a bubble of illusion? Excellent job. Best wishes in the contest:-)Alexis

I like the image of a bubble of illusion. Thanks, Andrea. By the way, since you visited and kindly left a comment on my "Warmth Within" I have done a further stanza, which is now number 3 - number 3 now number 4. Don't feel you need to go, but your comments have been welcome. Apologies if you already have been back to it! :)

Once we free ourselves from illusion, we're disillusioned. Nice verse Andrea! Thought you might like a quote by L.L. "darling it can't all be sunshine and roses..." ;) Leanne Lovejoy-Burton

Yes there is a war out there, Andrea, we still need to fight the good fight and poetry as good as this, will prevail.

Reason is only in God's season Andrea Outside there is a terrible darkness And a rolling fog of despair That springs from Institutional disbelief.'

Now that is aa grand quietus. Alas I lost my muse for these poems. Rhyme is difficult for me. Illusions are always a bubble. Maybe I'm in one of them. Hugs.
