Real or Fake

Reality can be overrated.

 

Raindrops dance on windowsills

Like tiny elves, “Say, are you real?”

Firefly fairies blinking twilights’

Silent message reveal the

Secrets of the universe.

Logic whimsies in reverse to

Shift from precious to perverse

Looking for a soul to steal.

 

Quiet rainbows cast their net from

Red to green to violet

            Filling mind’s eye to distraction.

            No room left for sad regret.

Are you real or should I quake to

Feel the magic that you make?

Will you be there when I wake to

Ease my mind lest I forget?

 

Peaceful dreams to fill my night

All forgotten with the light.

Phantom promises you make.

Are you real?

Are you fake?
