Life is an illusion.
Believe not what you see,
or wallow about in confusion.
Listen not to what you hear,
or die of emotional contusions.

Life is an illusion,
for we are not what we seem.
The body only a vessel,
empty if so I deem.
Thoughts not my own,
rather only those I condone.

Then, if life is an illusion,
only love must be reality.
For the very essence of love
is the true spirit of me.
And, if the spirit is only love,
then too, love is thee.

Yes, life is an illusion,
and love is reality...
it lacks confusion and pain,
it reaches to greater heights,
rewards with immeasurable gain.

For life is forced upon us,
while love is our choice.
So, don't lie down in life's dust,
rather, love with a heavenly voice.
For love does not fall to ruin and rust.
