Autumn came too early: one storm followed another and leaves began drifting silently in the cold wind. The sun peered meekly through denuded branches casting uncertain shadows upon the twisted mat of flattened Autumn grasses. On a lonely stretch of road I passed a tired soul: I turned back to look, and when he turned his face in the faint light I saw that he was me. |

This captivating poem makes me ponder, as all of your excellent work. You saw yourself in another soul, because you are aware that we are all One ... or you contemplated your ego, seeing it as a "stranger" from the point of view of your higher self. (or viceversa) Love, Margherita |

WOW!! It's strange how sometimes we realize that our contemplation brings us back to our own beginnings....to look within often gives us the most insight...Well said, my friend...*big hugs* |
