Imitation of Life

Imitation of life
Words without truth
Flight without wings
Skating on water
Swimming in ice
Desolate sun
End of its days
Tides keep taunting us
Tripping on sound
Holidays at home
Rest from the pain
Just an imitation
Just a game
Losing a battle of wills
Winning a victorious defeat
Just keep on dreaming
Better days forgotten
Lost souls keep floating by
Waves washing them in
The birds like arrows
Piercing the sky
Just a reflection of the past
The ripples and gauze
Tearing a world apart
