Awoke today,
a stranger's face
Staring back
in a familiar way...
Mirror Glass,
Smiling,..
Should I smile back?...
Or shoo away all new,
again today,
all I long to be?
Familiar lines traced
lead with glimpses back
Reminding the child I used to be...
Upon light so intense
time's winning hand
casts me back,
Out played I fold
No fire and no flame
Just an ember left...
A Long forgotten man
Awoke today,
a strangers face
who i want to be.
He looked at him,
I looked at me
And He asked questions:
Do I ever decide?
Did You like my chances?
if ever there could be,
Him?..
He?..
Me?

Another one that I've come across in my old laptop that I do not remember having written
