My reflection

A Poem by J

My Reflection-
As I stared across the gold, gleaming water, I saw the sun going down, so that the moon might have a chance to shine, a chance to show everyone its beauty. The shaded black trees swaying and moaning as if drowsy from lack of sleep. I feel a couple raindrops, as though they are the tears from the angels above looking at their family making fatal mistakes. I hear the owls hooting as if they are talking to one another about an amazing conversation that we can't hear. I look out across the water again and I caught a look of my reflection in the water; I caught a glimpse of my soul. I didn't recognize the girl that was staring back at me that evening, but I know she is still in me... Somewhere. I had lost sight of who I was, and who I wanted to become. The the tears kept falling from heaven, and now my own raindrops fell and hit the water. What I didn't know, was that the girl I had seen, she was gone forever. I finally looked away and up to the now darkened sky. I saw the stars blinking like a gentle beast that roams the wilderness, a beast that had calm clear eyes, eyes that will see your soul, eyes that would see the real you. As I looked intently upon the sky, I wandered... Who am I?
