Deception Poem by Shelley L Baxter

Illustrious heavenly lights
casts their mirror like reflection
upon the depths of the calm blue.
Shining within the glass like darkness
with the intensity of a dim bulb
in a room without a view.
Noticing only what one wishes to see,
not the funnel clouds slowly rearing their heads high above~
or the aggresive creatures lurking directly below.
Instead one sees the beautiful tranquil surroundings
and wonders if he is not blessed to gaze upon such beauty.
