The illusion of the mind

The illusion of the mind

Illusion of the mind it
Plays tricks like watching
Flicks in A movie it is
A delusion and your mind
And the mind allows the
Imagination to run wild

The illusion of the mind
When you see the
Optical illusion then
It happens that your
Eyes were open wide
And you tried not to show
The surprise look on your
Face and no one cried
When they saw the optical illusion

The illusion of the mind
As you fall in a deep sleep
When you were alone
You hear a voice you look around
When you hear that sound of
The voice and no one is there
It is an optical illusion
The illusion of the mind.

Hello Greg...

What do you do when you recognize and with the acknowledgement things becomes even easier?

For a long time I thought it was someone else...

Things weren't as good...

​​​​​​When the Illusions manifest...

What do you do?

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Mr Etsell, you wrote here a brilliant piece. Very true and very sad. How many times we wished it was real and not just an illusion of the 
mind and the yearning of the heart. Warm wishes.
