    Reflection

    Gazing into the stillness
    of the water, I see
    the reflection staring
    back at me;
    sad eyes telling
    a thousand tales
    of what might have been.
    Lost dreams and excuses
    have weathered
    the lines upon my face,
    making me question
    how this could be.
    Forgotten paths and
    discarded plans muddy
    the water as I watch me
    slip away in the shallows,
    wondering if I will ever
    find me again.

    Hit the nail right on the head. Added to favorites as soon as I read it. Getting older seems to have its good and bad sides. I am beginning to see it as a good thing. Just took me forever to get over my youth.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
