" Bare Illusion"

I walked bare foot


On white sands of the beach
I saw a person on the horizon
Approaching me


First just a dot on the sand
But as you came closer
I started to recognize you
That person was you
The other person me
I reached out to touch you
And started to run towards you
The ribbon in my hair now lost
Hair dropped down my back
Like a blanket


That wants to protect me
To protect me from more hurt
Hurt that’s been part of my life for so long
With my hands I try to reach you


Then
You took my hand and pull me closer
So close


That I who is on this side
Became one with your embrace
Calmness came over me
Tears ran over my cheek
And I looked up into your deep blue eyes
And I saw the love of an angel there
But with a tiny tear attached
That gives it such a sparkle
That blinds me completely
I closed my eyes… and you pull me
Even closer to your heart
The only words that I could speak was
Thank you God for sending him to me
And we stood there for a while
And time stood still
In this embrace of contentment
Our hands in tangled together
We started to walk my beach
Satisfied just to be together
In this very heavenly moment so sacred
We walk bare foot on the white sand
We walk my beach with our eyes to see
I started to laugh out of fear
I started to laugh so loud
Over whelmed in disbelief
Can this be?
Are you really ~ really here with me darling
Can this be true ?
I open my eyes and started to cry
I was still alone
This… just another
“Illusion”
