I AM

I am caught between the layers of reflection and true.
I wonder what is behind the mirror if I break through.
I hear the summer's breeze reminding of happier times.
I see a face that lights from the shadows, always in rhyme.
I want to touch it, desiring once more to view.
I am caught between the layers of reflection and true.

I pretend I am shared, in totality with you.
I feel the glass walls that build my mirror for two.
I touch the world of loving, slight of hand in myst.
I worry these lips will never again be kissed.
I cry for all losses and those moods of my blue.
I am caught between the layers of reflection and true.

I understand and am saddened by thoughts that accrue.
I say I am wrong, but there's no chance of renew.
I dream of tomorrows where I am not alone.
I try but the mirror throws back hurt words to own.
I hope to be forgiven one day, in review...for
I am caught between the layers of reflection and true.
~A~

You touch our hearts so gently with your answer to the challenge.
I know you pray for a cure for Crohns as well.
You have such a kind and loving spirit
and in this "I AM" challenge it shines through.
~Hugs, Nancy~

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is absolutely amazing... I think I need to go searching for more of your thoughts.

In the wooden chair
Beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain

And you made it rhyme...

It's beautiful, dear...
and it is a wonderful reflection!

"I wonder what is behind the mirror if I break through."
This perfectly matches your pen name, and of course, a beautiful soul is what you shall see.

Alluring Alice, you are able to write exquisite poety from those places "between the layers of reflection and true."
