Chasing a Reflection

I have walked down roads unseen.. Always searching for a glimpse.. Maybe a peek into me.. But always too shy.. ~~ A crystal ball without light.. Showing me the same figure.. A man in black looking down.. To a boy in dreams.. ~~ At the end of the road, peace.. The boy now a man not lost.. The reflection in black seen.. It was always me.. By Michael J Falotico for Linda's "Crystal Ball Contest
