Inner Reflection

August 28, 2013

The lonely reflection

Expression is only

Surface definition

Initially

 

By slowly adjusting

The pitch and perspective

Imagery revealing

What was lived

 

Layers within layers

Flowing tears recreate

Every breath reveals years

Contemplate

 

Scattering the surface

Refocus the context

Accepting my own face

Not pretext

 

The hidden expression

Affirmation of inner

Worlds; unseen diversion

Of power

 

A recombination

From which some rays of light

Flow and hum; unison

Of insight

 

A pen on the blank page

Is homage to the story

Just one still image

One piece of me
