Illusion
The mist was clearing
on a chilly day
frosting the glass
on the window pane
I drew a heart
hoping it would beat
to the gentle strums
of a harp within
I saw a door
around the heart
embracing it
in a welcome warmth
I tapped on that door
in hope and in prayer
to save me from agony
and despair
The mist soon cleared
almost in haste
the heart was gone
from the window pane
I knocked on that door
till my knuckles turned red
listening to the song
going cold again
i leaned against that door
in vain
with hands in my pockets
misty eyed
I took a few gingerly steps
then looked back
the door too had vanished
leaving my heart
homeless....
