Illusion

To say that the world is an illusion,
Is to take up a sword in an endless fight.
Do not deny what appears before you in some shrug of the shoulder.
Illusion means a trick of the eye, but that is not what you are.
The eye reports faithfully. The hand knows the chair.
The feet steady the walker. The ears know music.
Declared illusions are about denying, not revealing.
Instead, embrace this defenseless space.
The only false is the naming, the owning, the report.
The hand appears whether named or not.
All else is the march of energy, and you, the cadence.
It's not that there is no world.
It's that it has no name.
