Only Me

I stare out a blurry window and dream... With squinting eyes I see past self esteem... I press my lips on the glass and speak... Muffled words and distant sounds barely leak... Water drips faster down this chilled scene... With the image of a faded smile slowly seen... My hands wipe the coated vision that I see... To the reflection in a mirror of only me...

a view upon a an ancient soul, a searching still from days of old, words do flow as he does mold, the past grows dimmer here, serenity bend his ear, the path to take unfolds... re: 'Only Me' Michael J. Falotico Don Johnson
