Until the...

Built us a home
Meadows and lakes
This beauty we’re shown

But still we stop where we start.
Eternal rotating, repeating mistakes and never learning to part
Ignoring the grief in their voices with lessons spoken and taught.

Mirror Image

An image shimmers in the mirror
a reflection I can't perceive
The child looking back at me
maybe lonely and deceived
