My Reflection

An echo murmured back look at yourself, You see you' Reflection – mirror image of me of my dreams Staring all I see is me in you Glaring and glaring with my reflection Selfishly pointing in at my direction The ephemerality brought such sorrow My visage I spy on the morrow Even now clouds watch Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kilimanjaro! Clouds hoover and follow And its eyes have all the brainstorming The Jungfrau seemed happy performing It was heartwarming, under performing, nonperforming! Peek-a-boo looks at me as I look at you and I see myself From within my steps I walk on my shadow as my shadow holds me up Drinking I from the clouds spilled cup I spy, I see, me I see within the cool breeze Even now clouds watch My visage I spy on the morrow Murmured echo back look at yourself, you see you' Reflection – mirror image of me of my dreams Staring all I see is me in you Glaring and glaring with my reflexive reflection
