    In Reflection (sonnet # 3 )

    Stranded alone, detached, as most men stand
    Isolated, though immersed in a crowd
    An island enclosed by infinite land,
    One solitary breathe exhaling aloud.
    Seldom does chance allow fate to rehearse
    Ever searching, forlorn, for an answer
    The mirror reflects the image reversed
    An expression, expressing its anger.
    The face that appears, appears undefined
    For a stranger stares back, in reflection
    Experience gained through life's daily grind
    Guides us home, in a different direction.
    Stand level, stand straight, repel all assaults
    For mans inner worth, draws strenght from his faults

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
