Be My Reflection

Your image is in the glass in my soul, where your face moves Through mine. The brim fills in love and pours over time. The mirror with who I am is binding—and cannot contain Your light. It shatters the window image of home. Losing your heart, I’m alone. On hands and knees I feel the glass—for your Life to my soul. From millions of scraps of me, I’m cut through more deep, and Bled my blood, strained in jar, that you feel it.

"My blood, strained in jar, that you may feel it." So sad to think about. Your thoughts are tender and emotional, all at the same time. My best to you, Paige. Hugs, Brandy

Some words just mean so much more then the sum of the letters. This is one of those times painfully beautiful! Sympathetically A.S.

A very emotive poem. I can sense the pain of your bleeding heart, dear poet friend.
