A hoax that feeds us dreams, crafts our mind's eyes and tempts us with things out of our reach.
For a short while, the stars so far away, are our best friends.
Their play of woes and joys, are shared and felt as our own.
We do not tear off this veil from our eyes, just so as to mask our true lives and shield our hearts from hurts and wounds that plague us day and night.
But when the switch is off, and all is still, our loss is clear.
Life has slipped past. We were and still are in the dark.
