5. Reflection in Pane

Standing silently looking into the distance
Eyes staring outward but only seeing within

A pane of glass separating reality
Between what is and what has been

Love found and lost and found again
The pain of remembering forgotten

Thinking of answers for questions yet to be
Dreaming of happiness which comes rarely often

Strangers on the outside looking in
Seeing only a vision of smiles and grace

Knowing not of the thoughts inside
Or the fear of loneliness hidden behind the face

The phantom twin returns a glance
A companion from which truth cannot be hidden

Standing silently looking into the distance
Two images of the same, a love to be forgiven
