The pond called life staring back at me I see in its entirety The depths The shallows The flow The bend The ripples that skim The banks at each end I see the memories reflected emerged Sunken dreams Time now lost under waters bed I see the world from below and the skies over head If my own reflection was to disappear would I want to change the past or not relive the fear No! I would want to live and love despite the capturing image of that moment day night or year!
