Poets' Corner: From reality to mirage

Far off clatter of voices and distant sounds Footsteps vibrating on this very same ground

A foray of whisper and tinkling laughter Often echoed by crying after

Successive images race past my eyes From happy beginnings to sad goodbyes

Visual flashes reflected onwards through time Of confusing detail made sublime

Each frame has a story to tell Guarded secrets now contained within a shell

Reality for now reduced to a mirage Forgotten lives no longer with entourage

Real lives condensed in history Reasons why remain a mystery
