Illusions of Delusion

Listen to poem:

horizons blurred in a foreign haze the fiber of life disintegrated hope frazzled and denied trust fragile in the wind set adrift on a sea of delusion the nightmare losing sight of morning spun mixed emotions of solidarity elusive death caught in a vortex AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on August 18, 2020 for contest STRAND COMPLETELY NEW (24) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST

Big emotion shows! We are all caught in a storm. I’m standing in the eye. “Remain calm,” I tell myself.
