Is the Truth A Phantom?
#WritcoPoemPrompt106
Write a poem about truth and if the truth that has been told to us can be trusted.

During shadows cast by flickering light,
We all search for truth in the depth of night,
In a whisper, a murmur, a tale once told,
But can this truth in our hearts firmly hold?

From eyes that gleam with promises made,
With words like silk, so deftly played,
Yet beneath what it seems, is a polished facade,
And there lies the question: Is the truth a charade?

Can we trust the voices we hear,
The stories spun so far and near?
Or is truth a phantom, a fleeting ghost,
Just a beacon lost on a forgotten coast?

Because deceit wears a mask of truth so well,
In the maze of life, where illusions dwell,
Although within us lies a silent guide,
A compass true we still try to hide.

So can you trust the truth that feels like home,
The ones that resonates where your heart does roam,
Deep in the quiet of your own soul,
Will the truth revealed what makes you whole?
