“Put your finger here 
and see my hands,
and bring your hand and put it into my side,
and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
(Gospel) 

Illusions

Imagined walls
projected fences

fear-built barriers

my mind created
between you
and me

and now I
act as if they
really are there

forgive me

I knew not
what my mind
was doing

until I listened
to my heart

J. Janda
