Our Universe Is An Illusion

The universe of which we are aware 
is a universe no longer there 
Our sky shows us an image mashed 
but all of it is in the past 

Starlight here from different times 
all together in our minds 
every star with light that shines 
every ancient age combines  

None of what we are aware 
is actually existing there 
our universe is an Illusion 
everything we see has moved on 

Yet somehow all in our presence 
even though it isn’t present 
that would mean our seeing sense 
provides no solid evidence 

If we are in a universe 
it’s one we’re unaware, 
Is the universe really real
if what we see isn’t there
