The illusion

We were not satisfied just to feel God. 
We wanted to be like Him — 
to create, to choose, 
to know good and evil 
as if they were ours to hold.

And so, life began — 
the only space where such a wish could unfold.

God, in His mercy, 
gave us time, choice, distance, 
so we could taste what He always knew: 
that separation is an illusion, 
and love is what remains 
when we stop pretending.
