The Magician
He is one who knows the truth;
while subtlely juggling his lies;
seemingly he’s a reality sleuth;
one who is truth in disguise.
For those of limited understanding;
miracles are his stock in trade;
to those who, of truth, are demanding
he is performing an illusion parade.
Miracles are not the magician’s acts;
he is brilliant at sleight of hand;
and if we simply have all the facts;
his magic, we’ll all understand.
Yet still, he is always full of surprise;
always leading us to false conclusions;
and yet, within him he will devise,
a reality that is made of illusions.
The Master Magician seems the same;
his ways seem filled with mystery;
our lack of wisdom is much to blame;
as illusions all become history.
It isn’t at all that we’re being misled;
that has never been his intention;
we’re ignorant of much reality, instead;
and the Master is in another dimension.
All life and reality, He would love to explain;
a complex puzzle, with just one solution;
ignorance hides the truths that remain:
our present life is merely an illusion.
