Left Over Visions

I see all the things that have come and gone... Left with visions of half smiles that saw their way on... Sand castles of ideas slowly pulled to the ground... Disolving into yesterday with just a small sound... A portrait of me with airbrushed tears on a old smile... That has outlined wrinkles that came and stayed a while... In this pile of thoughts there is always a face I can never see... But when it draws closer, it's clear that it's always me...

Memories are always seen with the heart, not the head. And thought is with the head, not the heart, but the face we see in the mirror is always us...Even if we sometimes don't see it...Wonderful poem with some deep thoughts and a touch of sadness to it...Linda
