I See Myself With a Different Eye

artist unknown

I see myself as a night traveler

awakening in blue misty fog

traveling moonbeams from

here to there...

I see myself soaring the heavens

on unfurled wings searching for

light, dancing in the stars...

I see myself connected to others

weaving threads of our lives

strengthening our bond...

I see myself on the river's edge

reflections of the transformation

of my journey and life...

I see myself under a weeping willow

crying, hoping you won't have to...

I see myself sleeping in the darkness

sometimes afraid,  as I know not

what the night will bring...

I see myself and the world through

different eyes...and I wonder when

you look at me...do you see my

imperfections, my sorrow....

I see myself and I wonder who am i...

a dreamer who dances in the

clouds, giving my heart and I don't

know why?

Self-Portrait, Francis Bacon

Will I be remembered

through the hands of time

Will you see me as I see myself

a man captured in the torments of life

Will you say I was a prisoner of my own mind

expressing  my world as seen through dark eyes

Will you feel my anguish, reflections of twisted emotions

through the camera lens,  black and white I remain for all time

But, will I be remembered...
