A Dream, An Illusion

by Empress Jai   Oct 30, 2005


To be free from pain is a dream,
an illusion

To be like a butterfly
to drift with the wind
landing always on a flower or grass
Always adding beauty wherever you
go...
Is a dream,
an illusion.

Finding someone to love me for me
to hold me close
Erasing my fears
Softly brushing away my tears
is a dream
an illusion

So why am I laying here wishing it were true,
If I know all it can be is a dream?
Even if something like that were to happen
Its short-lived, just like a dream.
Thats the difference between whats real and whats an illusion.

Real things last forever
For all eternity.
Dreams are wonderful but after awhile you wake up and face what is reality, whats real.

But go ahead and hold me
Whisper in my ear that you enjoy this.
For now I'll smile at you, maybe say I do too.
But in my mind I wish to be fre...
Free from hurt
Free from dreams
To be free like a butterfly
Because then you would be real
Not just a dream, an illusion.
