Illusion

Touch the threads of my illusion,
Let’s taste the flavor and pretend;
That we are hidden in seclusion,
With words we speak that know no end.

Sing a song of sunlit days,
And sip the taste of heaven’s wine;
See a mist through noonday’s haze,
Forget the tunes that hinder time.

Take my hand and help me see,
Joy that mingles with light;
Break the chains to set me free,
And clear a mist that blinds my sight.

Close your eyes slip into sleep;
Time to dream with peace of mind.
Drift into forever, fathom the deep,
Arms of rest are always kind.

Here I sleep among the angels. Where they play their melodious bells. The river between, is my journey home. Into darkness, I'll no longer roam. The hand of heaven is guiding my way. A soul in kind to spend my day. Peace on earth and in my heart. From each other, we'd never part.
