Appearances can induce a trance <br />Creating an illusion of circumstance <br />Interpretation of information… <br />Is measured and weighed by inclination <br /> <br />The ordinary is often overlooked <br />Construed as blasé and mistook <br />Showy and entertaining invites attention… <br />As normality blends into a pale dimension <br /> <br />As the limelight dazzles… excitement grows <br />Over time glamour and glitz eventually slows <br />A faint chalk outline is all that remains <br />Rapidly to wash away with subsequent rain <br /> <br />What once was mesmerizing and wonderful <br />Has lost its luster and become dull <br />A glowing aura has faded since introduction <br />A facade melts away … revealing deception <br /> <br />7/14/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/entrancing/
