Reflections of Myself
Ever critical inner vision,
compounding doubts upon doubts,
crippling indecision.
Yet, those reflections I see
in the face of others
cannot deceive.
A whole person lives within,
the composite facade,
images that end and begin.
When the moth breaks free
to flutter with it's attraction,
is it's fire really me?
A few words written,
thoughts penned from afar,
beckon my attention.
The sanctum of the sphere,
completed in pieces strewn around,
gathered and examined.
My words of yesterday
return in electrons,
distant clarity of external vision.
What message next will she send,
revealing that which I know to be
reflections of myself?
