Reflection

What would I have
without poetry?

A small mind,
a dismissed whim,
an unspoken belief,

a reflection in the mirror
of someone I do not know.

I love this

Poetry is such a great outlet for our emotions and our soul. Sometimes it does one good to constructively purge our thoughts through writing. As always, an elegant, gentle write. Well done.

Hello, Ruby,

I think we all allow our most authentic selves to be seen/heard in our poetry. It certainly defines me, especially as I get older.
Thank you, Ruby!
