Illusion Must Be

A realization
Seconds continue
The illusion must be water
I’ll give you a little time
.
Just a second.
..
For a bit
yet
sprinting ..
Not too long
Short and powerful
Do I scare you?
Powerless, nervous?
?
Seconds are hours
The illusion needs more water
It will not take long
You’re just a little later
for a bit..

Just a second ..
For a bit
yet
what to admit ..

I found you when I did not search
my eyes closed
I lost you when I lost nothing
no muscle moved
But now I have lenses
my eyes open
So when I turn around …
..
I have to wish you more time
a bit longer ..
For a bit
yet
giving the illusion extra water ..

Maybe you are already there but I do not see you
A kind of hidden
Intangible but present
That’s useless
a bit longer ..
For a bit
yet
a realization …
Too much water given ..
…
..
The illusion is gone.
