Mirrored Reflection’s By Paul Wilson I haven’t written in quiet a while, so if this is confusing to you,Let me tell you it confuses me also. At least I am trying to energize my brain into thinking it can write again. So…you think you know me When I don’t even know myself The illusion you perceive Is only a reflection of someone Buried within the tomb of your mind Bits and pieces fit together just right While others like my mind is distorted Piercing light from somewhere Captures my attention As I try to comprehend why Music from my past echo’s Thru corridor of my mind Familiar faces all around Clouds of smoke engulf my being I travel back to nineteen sixty nine I am you…you are me Together we are no one Nothing connects us to each other But yet we are one And always will be So here we are at the end of time Older and wiser our peers say It’s just an illusion created by me Smoke filled mirrors are what you see Cause I will never reveal the real me ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

Paul, it is sad that you will never reveal the real you. There is such joy in feeling the freedom to do so. Smiles. Owl. |

Oh, I think you have revealed much more than you ever imagined. ~* If they give you lined paper, write the other way. ~*~ |

So here we are at the end of time Older and wiser our peers say It’s just an illusion created by me I can really identify with these lines... I don't feel wiser at all and won't dmit to feeling older... and I know I'm the only one fooled by the illusion. *S* |

Nice write Paul. You do show your wisdom in this write, as you do always and I bet without realizing as much. We do get older, and some get wiser, but we all have a commonality, we learn who we are not and keep that to ourselves. Always enjoy your writings. JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

It's hard to reveal the real you when you are not even sure who the real you is. True, we identify ourselves with certain times... certain places, but somehow that doesn't quell the yearning to really know. I can truly empathize with you on this one Paul. I'm glad you picked up the pen again. Michael |

Hi, Paul ~ well, actually I'm speaking to ALL of you!  Being as multi(faced)-faceted as you are is what makes you such an fine, intriguing poet whose poetry is always varied and fascinating to read! Love 'n a hug, Linda P.S. I'm come to love all your faces! |
