Fata Morgana

Inquisition lingers overhead
Maleficent minds prod my sanity
Lethe's rapids capsize the wayward vessel
No coastline menagerie in sight
In the still a ship appears
A distant reverie long forgot
My arms and legs stretch
Prepared to battle the riptides
The sun and moon exchange places twice
Upon the third twilight I arrive
There is no ship here
Just more of the vast sea
What was it I thought I saw?
Salvation? A second chance?
I saw what I wanted to see
Nonexistent opportunity
Did I waste my time swimming?
Did I do right to seize the moment?
It's all just an illusion
And like fools, we chase the bait
