Look down into the well, black water still Our reflections own us and we them An oil portrait in gray and heather I see you laughing, beer in your whiskers Cigarette dangling from your stained fingers Explain to me the meaning of life, your life How you stayed cold and indifferent amidst a sea of children and laughter How you never came out to play |

This line alone says a thousand words ... ------------------------------------------ Our reflections own us and we them ------------------------------------------ Very much enjoyed and it speaks of honest questioning that feels as if there is a very personal attachment to it. Well done. |
