Magpie Tales
The Time We Are Apart
It’s been awhile
Since I came to call
Held your image before me
Looked into the mirror
To see myself reflected
What happens to thoes moments
When we are apart
Do they ride an escalator to the next floor
Is time suspened into
Long naps
Shaded in the afternoon sun
or…
Are they waiting for the reunion
I hold your image before me
Look into the mirror and see myself
I have always enjoyed ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ My grandson is just discovering his reflection and I wonder what he is thinking when he sees that other little person holding the same toy he has in his hand. A lovely tale of self discovery every time…well sometimes. Sometimes the reflection is a reminder of those we look like and other mornings when pillow wrinkles and hair is all askew I think I would rather look beyond the reflected image 🙂
My life as been so busy and I’m sure it is true for others.
Over the years, I find when I actually ‘look’ and it is a surprise; who looks back at me, what have I become, who am I now? Have I become a stranger, since last I took a look?
Suddenly, I am aware years have passed. Where have the years gone? Where am I now?
Perhaps it is the Land of Alice? Thanks for your comments! Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529
