Reflections

I love you, your fire, your spirit
 I know what lives inside you 
A wellspring of love and compassion
Reserved for a deserving few 

I gaze into the sacred pool 
Where I could live a thousand years 
Guarded secrets of your soul 
I see my own reflections there

About This Poem

Last Few Words: For a friend of mine who, like myself, internalizes. I am one of the few confidants that gets to see inside. It’s a very special gift.

A friend like this...

is a special person indeed! We all need someone like this in our lives. Reflections is a good title for this one. The piece is short and to the point; without wandering off into the meandering abyss of maudlin, sentimental crap. Nice job! ~ Geez.
