Illusions

I saw it hanging there shiny and mysterious, Curiosity and intrigue drew me to it. I could not resist touching it, To feel the metal with my fingers, ... Explore its smooth surface. What beautiful artwork in the sand. I could not resist the urge to run my fingers across it Messing up the wonderful masterpiece. And now I am sad, For I have ruined something beautiful, Something I loved, Yet I do not understand where it came from. I take the shiny instrument in my hand And pull it back slightly and let go. Gracefully it dances across the sand, Back and forth, swaying, here and there, All the while creating another beautiful design beneath it. Swaying in slow motion, my gaze is enchanted with it's magic. At last it comes to rest And an even more beautiful design is left. Only now it seems, I am the artist of this masterpiece.
