Seeing Through the Pain

Staring through the window pane as her reflection peered back A reflection full of pain, with her own life now being so off track And as she continued to peer and the sun had continued to rise Her fearful reflection became clear right before her very own eyes The birds still flew about and the squirrels scampered around All alone in fighting this bout for no one else could be found Then a slight breeze blew as a few leaves went fluttering past So with little else to do she decided to make the moment last But as she went to turn she heard a little tapping sound Looking back to discern, she was shocked in what she found There staring her in the face a praying mantis on the other side Praying right there in place as if he had nothing at all to hide She moved a little left and then right but he just kept on praying Even moving out of sight but no attention was he even paying Despite all the danger around even a fear that he could die Serenity he had found perhaps praying is what she should try.
