Many Illusions (Revised)

A perfect evening feeding rainbow-coloured
beads to eyes ravenous for beauty, a favourite
movie, callous girl who cries on family loss –
her mom especially – fights to get them back,
along with her I too had fervent tears

Washing dishes after a fabulous meal to chan-
sons française – musique folklorique pour
enfants: Brave Marin and Mam’selle Angèle -
long thought lost - feeling passionate and
oh so very young again

Music still retains its charm after so many
years I see delightedly; I thought increasing
age inured me to the joys of youth, not true –
small things relished when young still fill
my heart with wonderment, especially

If I allow recall to go right back to those
moments of magic when I tried to create
as many illusions as possible…

Illusions of youth are the karmic stimulus for the dreams and subsequent shape of things to come . One must cherish them and relish em bit by bit , when chips go down . The celebration od being is the biggest festival in the lands of nirvana.
