Reflection...



Oh clouds in the infinite sky,
Ye never fail to allure me and I wonder why...

Rushing East when the wind wants otherwise,
making your way, thrusting to break the ties...
A whirlpool like the one inside, I can then see,
pushing everything aside, a force then driving me...

At times moving West, towards the setting sun,
knowing that it is but destiny to be One...
Covering it completely & darkening the sky,
Only to give way to a beautiful morn as I sit by...

At others, I see you as placid as can be,
gently moving, as if the sky were your sea...
Telling me to accept what comes my way,
display fortitude and sail away, sail away...

At times as violent as the sea can be,
sparing no one, whoever it be...
Heavy with water, like I am with pain,
pouring down then, driving me insane...

You've shown me the vast expanse of the desert too,
when I've felt low, on those occasions few...
Like the thirsty traveller searching for an oasis,
I'm left to wonder about it all, death or genesis...

My eternal companion, my aide, my Life...
You're but a reflection of my inner strife...
