Illusions

Mystical horizons
Illusions to see
Flickering fantasy
Time flowing free

Rest your pretty head
But don’t close your eyes
Dreams go away
But never say goodbye

Life is a treasure
But only for some
Stop digging now
You’ll only succumb

Lingering freedom
Looming overhead
Glowing darkness
Takes over instead

Wishes are snowflakes
Floating in space
Protection fails
At a leisurely pace

Deception tickles 
Whispered in your ear 
Beginning is never
End is near
