"A Little Reflection"
One verse shall write itself upon the conciousness, and one verse shall disappear into the murky depths of the unconscious
One feeling will be triumphant, and happy, reeling with the untapped coincidences of circumstance
And one feeling will be a dim one, shutting down the elation inherent in the psyche
One positive, one negative
One shining, one dull
A reflection of present feelings, shining off the mirror of existence
"A smile is a frown turned upside down"
Serenity is the flip side of cacophany
Sitting idle in front of the keyboard,
Wondering about the illusions of yesterday
One reflects upon the present,
and the reflection is not pristine and clear
but the edges are blurry
and the picture is never in focus
The picture has never been in focus
and for all the new perscription spectacles one tries on
the days pass
the picture recedes in the distance
and the reflection of life never really reflects truth after all
So we get up every morning and look in the mirror
And rub the sleep from our eyes and stare at our past and our future
One day will be filled with fruition and promise
One day will be filled with salty tears
One day my princess will come
And reflect my image in her soul...............
