i looked into the mirror that night.
just like that.
the face hidden, nothing else but eyes.
i have beautiful eyes.
they stared back at me.
was i staring at them, or they staring back at me?
was it the other way round?
i was as if in a trance.
looking on.
like meditation.
like something beyond that.
it did not turn misty like it did before.
i was aware of something,
too aware to go beyond it, away from it to gain perspective maybe.
i was struck by something i am unaware of.
someone looked back at me, someone i did not recognize.
there was something amiss.
something somewhere amiss.
maybe.
maybe.
or maybe there has been too much that i had not kept up with.
i was looking at me, as if i was looking at someone else.
what does this mean anyways?
i am not making sense.
and I asked it finally, 'Hello, I think I know you, you have eyes like me...I think we've met before
ReplyDeleteAnd they said...
'look closer, I am you'
I think it means that there is just so much the mind wants to see and behold and perceive.
ReplyDeleteLife is so like any other journey - from a buoying lil frantic ship on unruly waves it eventually does simmer down to a still lake, then shakes a lil sometime.
I like this post.
