The Reflection
A woman stares at me, and I stare back
A woman catches my attention
Her eyes with specks of the richest browns
stare back at me
I stare back in a hypnotic sense of wonder
and am pulled into a sea of mystery
more than one could ever know
a whirlwind of mixed emotions
Her eyes reflect uncertainty, doubt
Her soul, tired and unsure
I look again into her eyes
and see
determination
strength
confidence
There's an ember of confidence that burns in her eyes
even if it's just a spark
I catch a glimpse of a smile
Her smile is like no other
She's perfectly flawed,
like a ragged gem stone unearthed before it's polished
I smile knowing she'll be okay
That I'll be okay
as I walk away from my reflection
