False positive?



Life, what has become of her...
To be or not to be has been the way.
Living a new day is luck or destiny?

Everything has been so fast.
And so quickly life is gone
that almost has not been...!

Yesterday I was perhaps thinking about the future.
And where is the future?
It's already in the past!

Life was a distant horizon...
But the horizon has never existed:
It's just an illusion, a visual deception...

And the stars?
Beautiful show for lovers and poets.
They have all disappeared a long time ago...

False positive!
Then we? What are we?
Perhaps a tiny grain of the infinite universe?

Will we be real?
Who manages our invisible threads from a distance?
Are we just a divine dream?
