I saw my face in a mirror
in a dream where I was lost -
in such childlike helplessness
I wept.
All around me faces and places
which should have been familiar.
They gave back no recognition
and, cold-shouldered, turned away.
Awakening I gaze into reflection
through a lens which turns light to dark,
switches the truth upside down;
blind through this maze I hunt.
Following future followed by past;
it takes more wisdom than I have
to know that I ought to pause
and speak to the present.
I have grown apart from me -
the child inside is sleeping,
and she must awaken from dreams
so we can comfort one another again.
