“I Saw My Reflection”

Look into the mirror
Stare deep in and see
The pain and desolation
That is tormenting me.

Everyday I try to hide it
Paint my mask of flowers
Hoping that it beautifies
My endless secret showers

If I try hard enough
To the world I will appear
Just another traveler
On the road to Windermere.

Yesterday I saw myself
My reflection in the lake
My heart screamed out so suddenly
My limbs began to shake.

The poem I read aloud that night
Beneath the harvest moon
Took me to another place
No longer alone in my room.

So now I have some company
I thought I’d never find
To walk with me on to my grave
And to ease my troubled mind.

Greetings, Kinger! Welcome to pipTalk and our "Family of Friends".

We can be our own best friend ~ or our own worst enemy. The former is the better option!

When you see your reflection, may you be looking at a friend who will be walking with you from your first step ~ until your very last one!

Giving you a warm, welcoming pip hug,

Earth Angel
