Challenge
There have been several mirror challenges but in this case we take and use the word "reflection" somewhere in your write. Poetry or Prose. It cannot be used as a title. Use it as a reflection of life, what you feel or see, long ago memories, or all the "what if's" ... Take "reflection" and run with it!
Make sure I am tagged only in the comment box and not the piece itself so I can get to you to read it in a timely manner as such @Danceinsilence
At home, by the sea...
Driving along I95, I finally see
glimpses of the water to my left
as we head to Vero Beach
the air turns to that familiar
scent of the sea, even if it is
just imaginary to me
So many thoughts, through my head
as I meander down the highway
to my home by the sea
The trip brings such emotions
too many of what we had and didn't
that I long for my pillow and bed
But now I am here, with thoughts
of you by my side and think of how I'd
say things differently, between you and I
and finally say what you mean to me
and put this ache aside
Traveling, to my home by the sea,
wiping away this reflection of you
as the warm air rushes past my face
as if it were your touch of hand
as we lay in our pillow and bed...
