Sometimes, I’m as peaceful
As the lily's white scented reflection

Sometimes, I’m as heavy
As a jagged rock thrown harshly
Into the dreaming pool

Other times, I feel as wishy-washy
As the ripples~circling out
In all directions, Indistinctly disappearing

Some nights, I’m as serene
As the mirrored projector of marbled light

Some times at dusk, I’m as mysterious
As the appearing mist, hovering
Above the sleeping water blooms

There are times~I imagine with fascination
The person looking back at me
Lives somewhere deep within the slick aqua moon

Most of the time, I realize I know nothing
of myself. But the slow resurfacing
Of the memories that have drowned
Then bubble up, in a quiet fizz

I am this
and I am that
but, am I ever
that and not this?

I am all
and I am none
but, am I ever
none and not all?

I am me
and I am me
but, am I ever
me and me too??



we are indeed all. . . and none. . . and yet, more. . . well done Regina. . .

Yes, you are a multi-faceted diamond, a rainbow of colors, and a poet of complexity. I enjoyed this one, and your new photo too.
