Reflections

Mirrored images of ourselves In the water, in others, In the window glass Of the building as we walk by Captured just for a moment Until we stop and stare And look deep into our eyes. Our souls temporarily in stasis To allow a glimpse, a glance Or perhaps a good long look Of what is and remembering what was As if we were an open book. A look back into time Of the ways we were The good, the bad, the indifferent All the changes we went through Basking in the glory of how We managed to get through it all As the day comes anew. A smile peers from our lips When we think back in time Of that special someone That made and impact In our daily life, the one who Kept us glued together making sure Everyone and thing stayed in tact. A teardrop surfaces Glides down our cheek As memories of loved ones lost Refill our minds, visit our dreams To ease our pains, give us the strength To move on no matter what the cost. So as we slowly come back into focus All the memories reclaim their rightful place Back in time for future detection The stasis releases us back to the present And allows us to fully understand The true meaning of reflection.
