Notes About The Poem

mirage

Chasing shadows to mirages

chasing a light's glow
is fraught with daft illusions
shadows grow and fade
mirages beckon off-road ~
echoes are hopes oft broken

Powerful reality write, John. Yeah, Socrates said “hope not for you know not what to hope for.” B blessed. (Lol, I was “hoping” for another musical skit here )
