Hello You

self reflection

Hello You

I float away inside a dream

Where every door unlocks more of me

Somewhere I’ve been, locked in the past

Someone one I’ve been, only recast

The red door leads to loves I’ve known

The blue one left me all alone

The yellow finds fields of delight

The black to edges of the night

Sitting as still as I can be

Amazed by everything I see

Stealing away, dipping inside

Basking in life’s liquid sunshine

The pouring rain in bright sun rays

Warming and cleansing on my face

Some ravaged sheets and waves of lust

Some bolted tight, covered in rust

Some I was sure I’d traveled through

Now seems to be something else, brand new

Where doors are mismatched and needing paint

Where angels and devils hesitate

Waiting for me to choose the door

To places I’ve never been before

Though familiar to me, still strangely odd

Where the path was one time touched by god

Bravely stepping into the unknown

To journeys that are still unshown

To find the me beyond reflection

Giving her love and true affection

Until I am again, wholly found

I’ll follow the paths scattered around
