Taking on an Illusion

it is uncomplicated
just grab onto the illusion
which floats further than there
the one that glows
so you can easily identify it
guiding your fingers
the glow
feels like skin
that is the illusion
weaving and bobbing
peeping and a-hiding
good golly Miss Molly
it will cause you to smile widely
altruistically as it were
of alteration
twisting you into elevated motivation
you sense a jungle rhythm
an enchantingness
as you howl at the moon
and laugh and laugh and . . .

it is uncomplicated
just grab onto the illusion
which floats further than there

just beyond reach, and yet...
how we play tricks on ourselves
but then why not?

well delivered, Jerry,

grabbing on to an illusion can be tricky no promise of a return trip. perfect picture jerry...can't tell though what she's holding in her left hand...a non-floating illusion perhaps?

Keeping one's head above the water
if you can swim, even floating when
tired...an illusion can take you there

Sounds like what a good “hit” does to you. Pick your poison.

I think I need help, Jerry. I haven't been able to get my illusions to float, yet there have been times when I felt the urge to howl. Maybe there is still hope.

Enjoyed, Dick

You watching Dark Shadows too? (1967 version)

Wow, now that is a night time tonic! I prefer tea myself, but will you share? :)

How unique and interesting Jerry... you just took me into the Netherworld of the unknown.. I like it :)
