Reflection
by Richard BlissettThe water ripples in the midday
sun
Cold, wet sand sparkles under my bare feet
A light breeze colors the
day
But even the wind cannot distort my reflection
Even the waves cannot
change the body I see in the water
If it is my own
For I do not see
me
I see you
As the sun moves through the sky
It reveals the shadows in
the water
I can see her too
And I can see them
And even he is
there
And soon I realize that it is me
I've only been seeing my
colors
You gave me eyes
You said "see"
And I saw
So I wonder if I am
me
And I also wonder
When the sun reflects in the water
And the sand
makes you feel safe
Do you see me?
