Illusions great and small
Can have an impact on us all
Trickery of the mind
Can leave us confused and blind

The world we see is not always true
Our perceptions can be askew
Mirages on a desert plain
Or a magician's clever game

Our minds can be fooled so easily
By images or words that seem so free
An optical illusion or a clever twist
Can leave us feeling quite dismissed

But illusions can also be beautiful
Like a rainbow or a sunset so full
Or a dream that seems so real
We hope it's not just what we feel

So let us be aware of what we see
And question if it's just a fantasy
Illusions can be intriguing and fun
But remember, the truth is the only one.
