Reflection

 "Who is there for me to rely on?

To understand my sorrows, 

Every time I feel there's no tomorrow?

Who is there to bring peace to the turbulent heart?

Music to the lyrics, long lost perhaps?"

I ask You in accusation.

You smile at me as though I am a fool 

Remind me of things they don't teach in school.

"Look," You said, "at the waters of the fountain, 

The pond, lakes, and waterfalls in the mountains, 

And you will find the one you seek, 

Ask them to consider your desperate plea." 

So I walked up a small hill, then a mountain, 

Down by the stream, and a fountain, 

I searched and searched, but all I found was me, 

Agitated, animated, I told You 

"Reflection is all I see."

"Exactly" You calmly stare at me.
