Trudging through the snow
I see glistening silver crystals
Beautiful, intriguing
The sparkle mesmerizes and captivates
So alluring
and yet
when I reach out to touch
it disappears
gone from sight
but I know it was there
I dig and explore
hoping to reconnect with the beauty I saw
Only when I reach the dirt underneath the overlay
do I realize
what I was seeing
was an optical illusion
the sun's relfection off the serene snow
a trick of nature
and then I think of the trickery of human nature
We are not always as we appear
dig deep, there's always some dirt to uncover
