Illusionary Handling

There it is
	Just out of reach
	If you grab it -
	It will fall over the edge      and take you with it.
An illusion
	Not really there
	Taunting you to act -
	It seems so easy       don’t let it trick you.
Some kill for it
	Or so they think
	But lose it trying to gain it -
	Left with nothing      but to face it.
There’s a secret
	Only it knows
	But here’s a hint -
	Let it go      and you’ll get it.
