You of the Shadows

January 17, 2017 lizaaitken

I saw you in those shadows,

but you never walked on in.

You were always watching,

considered mostly everything.

Today you came to centre,

that mirror opened wide.

I walked in to join you there,

in the place that you reside.

I see you now much clearer,

in the etchings on my face.

Turning from the mirror now,

but I know you leave a trace.

Suppose it’s time to join up,

we’re heading the same way.

It’s time for me to face you,

as all those things I never say.

Seeds of Life

When you look into the mirror do you see your family staring back, do you utter the words they once said, have the same tastes, interests and suffer similar ailments? It is only nature reflected back at us in that mirror to our connection with past generations. Take the seeds that go to make the face of the sunflower that when planted grow into beautiful strong sunflowers. We are as nature intended and grow from the seeds of past generations.
