Magic show

Life a magic show, we appear out of nothing

For the eye too quick 

Diversions from what is coming

Knowing but not wanting to believe it's a trick

Reality a slight of hand

Hidden, it lies out of sight

A trap door and a mirror we don't understand

An invisible thread we don't see in a card's flight

Smoke and mirrors takes away our fears 

Clouds our eyes to reveal a surprise

In a box cut in half

In a disguise, illusion parted lies

In clap and laugh lies our epitaph

Wow, this is really cool! I love how you compare life to a magic show... It feels deep and a bit haunting. The imagery is awesome and makes you think. Nice work Soren!

The metaphor of life as a magic show is rich and layered, and you’ve used it brilliantly.
