Reflection
What would I have
without poetry?
A small mind,
a dismissed whim,
an unspoken belief,
a reflection in the mirror
of someone I do not know.

I love this
Poetry is such a great outlet for our emotions and our soul. Sometimes it does one good to constructively purge our thoughts through writing. As always, an elegant, gentle write. Well done.
