Do you ever feel lost, like you aren't there even in front of the mirror?

Softly travel in the mist of morn
With wanderings from my nighttime past
A road to nowhere, with nothing thoughts
The chill in the air reaches out at last
Grabs and holds, won't release it's grip
As smiles in the day just pass me by
Is it age, or miles, or time memories
The desperate thunder as tears fall from sky
Land on cheeks and roll gently down
'Til taste of saltiness reaches my lips
No imagined knight nor shadow in dark
Can heal when memory relapses and slips
Into the old routine filled with naught
Silence is golden, when empty is sought

This is almost haunting. I felt the lostness as I read it. Your pen has served you well here girl, but then again it always does.

mm - Wow, haunting is right!  The last line speaks volumes.  There are too many days when I stand in front of the mirror and have similar thoughts, but never could I have expressed them as you have done so beautifully here.  Bonnie

MMoonchild,

Sad filled yes, I really like this line,
Silence is golden, when empty is sought, I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Love, Cerenity

Not strange at all, Maureen, that's one of my favorite lines. I knew exactly what you were saying. Wonderful writing!
