Reflection

Staring deep into the past
Rhythmic pulses racing fast
Twinned ovals looking for answers
How long will this moment last?

This frail figure before me stands
His life resting in my hands
His eyes looking for answers
Among the shifting sands

These lines so fine, they stick in my mind
As moments in time, in pigment defined
Colours and shades, as memories fade
The price that I've paid for the choices I've made

Vast contemplation, looking for meaning
A place in the universe, forces intervening

Shutters fall and all turns black
Synapses form, no turning back
The light returns and visions surge
Thoughts converge and answers emerge
And answers emerge
And answers emerge

Staring deep into the past
Rhythmic pulses racing fast
Twinned ovals looking for answers
How long will this moment last?

This frail figure before me stands
His life resting in my hands
His eyes looking for answers
Among the shifting sands

These marks so dark, in skin and in heart
Sleeplessness leaving black circles and arcs
This skin so thin, so damaged from sin
Reflection unveiling the stories within

Vast contemplation, looking for meaning
A place in the universe, forces intervening

Reflection, reflection, reflection, reflection
