So busy this mind

employed to dart endlessly

from one memory and illusion

to another.

It keeps you spellbound

with its deft movements,

like a magician captivating you

with his show.

After the show you return home

but mind is allowed to still play,

this puppeteer of your attention.

There is nothing there, dear one.

The empty images are hiding you

from yourself.

The play can continue

but you can smile

at the secret revealed,

and rise to leave

this viewer's chair empty.
