Reflections of Her Puzzle
Perched on a smooth river rock
studying her reflection in the flow
A timeline of changing faces
slowly drifts by...
Carefree happy child
running, playing among trees.
Rebellious miserable teen
banging her head against authority.
Disillusioned, deeply depressed
escaping with her spirit broken.
New mother ecstatic in California
memorizing his growing up slide show.
Lonely, desolate woman with wrong partners
until near death does she part.
Empty-nesters' angst ridden face
hidden, lost in darkness.
Unstoppable learner/teacher
finding her pieces in lifes' school.
Evolving computer addict, isolator
searching on-line for love.
Mostly content, peaceful now
her heart found God and "true blue."
Freedom lover flying, watching from above
Her lifes' puzzle face more balanced
yet incomplete.
