From CHARLED@mail.firn.eduMon Nov 21 12:07:07 1994 Date: Sun, 20 Nov 1994 22:01:26 EST From: "Dennis J. Charlebois" <CHARLED@mail.firn.edu> To: duke2@selway.umt.edu Subject: Grand Illusion INSIDE THE GRAND ILLUSION by Dennis Charlebois (Sagit) Through the looking glass the grand illusion beckons The stagelights bright, the audience in place We check the makeup mirror one more time Confident no one can see our face As the mists of unreality surround us In costumes hiding gender and age We build the grand illusion around us And trembling, we walk onto the stage Through the looking glass there lies a magic ballroom Where only we can hear the music played We search for things like friendship and love And dance inside our magic masquerade As the mists of unreality surround us In costumes hiding gender and age We build the grand illusion around us And trembling, we walk onto the stage But we're all only players on the stage And the time comes when the audience goes home When we take the costumes off forever And stand in the grayness all alone Through the looking glass, is it all illusion? Or is mirage, perhaps the better word? A vision unattainable that beckons A siren's song that's better left unheard As the mists of reality surround us And the looking glass slowly cracks in two We see at last that in the grand illusion Love and friendship were just illusions too And we're all only players on the stage... And we're all only players on the stage... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ftp://ftp.game.org/pub/mud FTP.GAME.ORG http://www.game.org/ftpsite/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This document came from FTP.GAME.ORG, the ultimate source for MUD resources. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
