Caught in a ReflectionA Poem by Ember BeyuneShe waits at the window watching the rain
Hopes for answers for someone to explain Why does her reflection appear so sad A mask, a shadow of what she once had Her smile, once bright, now falls from her face Food that brought delight lie devoid of taste Both eyes, windows to a land without light Everything she touches doesn’t feel right Sounds of raindrops mix with the splash of tears There is no one coming, nobody hears She gives up, her song has sung its last chord No one sees the direction she walks toward She stepped out of the door, there a bird flew Sky blue, it looked at her and then she knew Storms come and go, the world is this way Tomorrow will come and dawn a new day © 2014 Ember Beyune |
