Reflections - May 21, 2000
The crisp cool weather
chills my skin
and dampens the soul
as I lay watching
the moon rising
and the few stars appear.
As I turn once more,
I catch a glimpse of your eyes
in the reflected window
and wonder at my sight
for it is impossible to have been you.
And I ponder
on the reasons why -
chief amongst them -
our days apart
now outnumber the days together
and certainly,
distance cannot bridge
two souls.
Slowly turning away
from the memories
of a happy time
where we needed no light
to brighten our days.
Once more
my eyes are drawn
to that
shadowed corner.
I blink.
And the shadow has disappeared.
