Sunlight and Shadows

  • Not Me

    I am a mirror, a looking glass

    I copy you while you go past

    I’ll show you what you want to see

    Without ever showing me

    I am a shy chameleon too

    I change from green to brown to blue

    I’ll be okay if I blend in

    Hide beneath a shifting skin

    I am an unformed lump of clay

    I’ll mold to any shape you say

    I cannot harden into me

    Since I’ve no unique form to be

    I am a frosty icicle

    A brittle, cold, transparent soul

    Drips of past that caught and froze

    I’ll melt away if you get close

    Reflect, refract, reform, react

    Will I ever see how to be me?
