Within...

Staring into my reflection
I wonder what you see
staring at the reflection that is
staring back at me...

My heart aches
a blissful seizure of thought and mind
a deep churning of emotion and feeling
that I never thought possible again.

My mind roams
traveling down a road of meaningless words
for no such words can contain that which I mean to say.
For no such words can amount to that
which I mean to show.

I ponder, what is it that makes my thoughts so poisoned?

I yearn for the power to give life to that
which I wish to convey.
I beg for the strength to say that
which I mean to say.
But in my mind, nothing can truthfully proclaim
that which I wish to show.

And I stumble,
blissfully ignorant to what is near me,
what I hope is around me
what I think is around me.
to what I feel is around me...

My mind hiccups
my heart breathes
my soul tastes
that which I pleaded with God to believe...

And I'm left to ask...
Staring into my reflection
I wonder what you see
staring into the reflection that is
staring back at me
