there are no terrors in creation

except those I have created for myself


and they hold such sway

that I cannot believe my own strength


one day I'll pass through my barriers

as if passing through a smoky room


but until then I stare at the swirling rings of smoke

as if they were solid (even though I know they aren't


how strong and real are our illusions....)
