Sauntering beside the lake
In my early life holding my dads fist
Trying to catch a glimpse of that chase
There is something of me in there
Nothing that could be a flurry
Just a bare reflection of me - pure & serene
Few years beyond my teens
there was me in the mirror
A reflection of what I now be
Everything that I hid from the world
For I wanted to be someone they love
This was not me in totality but
What I thought the world would love of me
Now as I lay in my last years
And each time as my eye lids shutter
A flash of the world acquainted
Glimpses of the conscious life lived
Reflecting the not so pertinent moments
All I see there is nothing I would have wished
Something that is true and me
But what I never was and came into being
Reflection of a life, changed with time
A life simple and calm, to a life for the world
Not sure which one is better lived
Yet certain it is a REFLECTION of
In my early life holding my dads fist
Trying to catch a glimpse of that chase
There is something of me in there
Nothing that could be a flurry
Just a bare reflection of me - pure & serene
Few years beyond my teens
there was me in the mirror
A reflection of what I now be
Everything that I hid from the world
For I wanted to be someone they love
This was not me in totality but
What I thought the world would love of me
Now as I lay in my last years
And each time as my eye lids shutter
A flash of the world acquainted
Glimpses of the conscious life lived
Reflecting the not so pertinent moments
All I see there is nothing I would have wished
Something that is true and me
But what I never was and came into being
Reflection of a life, changed with time
A life simple and calm, to a life for the world
Not sure which one is better lived
Yet certain it is a REFLECTION of
a belief of life, mine, now passe.................
