Poetry Break: Georges


He wondered whether ecstasy was a lie,
a whisper lost in daily lives
filled with responsibility
and debt.
Was love an illusion,
shimmering over blue water
created by sunlight,
filtered through the trees;
unrecognizable
like the truth told to strangers
on first dates?

From "Deliberation" by Richard M. Georges [Life is Simple, Really]
