Is Truth an Illusion?
Truth like illusions cannot be grasped tightly or manipulated
for it can dissipate like a winter's breath.
Truth taken lightly without a second thought withers,
as does pure innocence.
The presence of truth ensures the acceptance of trust.
Growth and understanding of ourselves and others
will not be empty or lonely.
Without truth and trust there can be no union of lovers, no creation of forever.
Like an illusion its existence cannot be touched.
While we are unable to "hold" truth in our hands,
we are able to enfold the truth within ourselves.
Its beauty lifts us to a place uninhibited by deception or deceit.
Truth is not an illusion, it is an extension of trust that must be nurtured and taken into our lives.
Our entity thrives on the reality of truth, without it we cannot be complete.
