Optical Illusions

Optical illusions beneath a darkened moon,
shadows come hither and then disappear.
Eyes pierce the night sky outward to heaven,
emotions overwhelmed by sheer vastness,
love awaits for me somewhere out there

Falling star gives me hope love will arrive,
wished upon, it dies in the depths of darkness.
Illusions of the night are many and fleeting,
reality so easily lost along with many dreams,
my eyes always return to the magic of the sky.
