Deceptive Reflections



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.

  1. 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:)

  3. ... 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!
