Deceptive Reflections
By
Lisa A.Williams
The image-
born
of a bitter
conception
through the looking
glass
she saw an old
reflection
heavy
with want,
hungry
with need,
yearning to feel
the lightness
of letting sorrows bleed-
Free
from deep rooted
reactions.
You have captured the human struggle, when want and need obscure, for us, what is bountiful all around us. I totally resonate with this poem, and the kind of ease the narrator longs for. She will get there, it will come:)

Love these words that capture the heart of it all. I like this and the picture it gives
... the lightness of letting sorrows bleed... What a great line describing the letting go, being in the reality of the moment, living through the pain and moving on. So well written, Lisa!
