Reflections


Answers From Within

to all those who search the inner depths

Darkness had surrounded me
With its bitter taste of pain

My thoughts had turned to doubt
Suffering remained

Fear was lingering behind me
A shadow of despair

Does any one care?

Awakening I see ahead of myself
What could be...
What I might find

Then somewhere, from nowhere
I hear a gentle voice
A wisper in my mind

Its me you're looking for
Here within
This is where I've always been.

Wendy Seymour 1994

 

Reflections


REFLECTIONS

In a distant gaze
Flowing tears
Create the streams below

Molding my reflection
Mirrored image of thoughts
Reflect trace memories

Ripples of history
Imprints on my forehead
Maintain their position

Tunnels of graphics
Duplicate my eyes
Within hardcover lids

Sounds are silenced
Wax filled ears
Clinch the shutters

Words not spoken
Stitches around my lips
Puckering the pain

Trails of smoke
Exit my nose
Clouding the scent

Liquid evaporates
Appearances fade
Everything disappears

Wendy Seymour 2003
