Just when you get a glimpse
of what it can be,
It stops being,
like a fleeting dream at dawn.

The vision that was once clear,
fades so suddenly,
A promise that was whispered,
gone abruptly.

You see the stars, the endless possibility,
The world alive with colors
yet unseen.

But in a breath,
reality's harsh key turns,
and the magic
vanishes without a trace.

It's like a flower in the desert sand,
Briefly blooming under the moon's soft light,
Only to wilt when touched by morning's hand,
Leaving you to wonder at the night.

Just when the heart begins to truly feel,
The moment slips from between your fingers,
like a mirage in the sun.

Yet, in that single glimpse,
there's something real that looks back at you.

A hope,
a spark,
that might return one day,
echoing through your dreams.
