Illusion imagined, colors anew.
One stands solid, grounded and clear,
The other soars, without fear.

The other creates, endless space.

The other whispers, come what may.

Real and Dream:
Reality, the solid ground,
Illusion, where the dreams are found.

Illusion, dances, shifting space.

In their balance, freedom find.
