Reflection In Twilight
I stand here on the precipice of my life's darkness
with a clarity of thought
A mirror of my years lay on the surface of my mind
Below, emotions hide deeper
I wonder if there should be more
And what would more look like
Muddled by decisions and choices due to human folly
that gave an emotion's coat to wear in all seasons
I stare into my mirror...find silence
My mind's surface is covered in ripples from memories
truths bent by graying years and measured time
where thoughts were given to tomorrow
and yesterdays were left along deserted roads
traveled on by people I had met along the way
with their own follies
I can't help but think...to what end
What does it all mean, and to whom
now in life's twilight before it's dark suffocates me
I allow my mind to wander
