The Girl Sitting in the Sun

Who is this young woman
sitting in the light,
her dark tresses, thick,
 her lips, shiny, and bright?  
I sense I've seen her
 somewhere before.
I feel our paths crossed
a long time ago,
to faraway lands 
and half-opened doors.
Yet eerily, I still hold
 her close  to my heart.

Her eyes, 
painted and pencilled
in rich smoky hues,
are drawn with precision
to  intrigue and amuse
the vibrant youth of her being -
 she lives for the moment!
  Her future is foreign,
faraway, unforeseen.

Still,
there's something about her
that's strangely familiar!
  If I could just hear her voice,
it would all be much clearer.
And, after listening very closely
to what we would say,
I'd take our advice,
and meet her today.
Just the two of us,
here, in the mirror.

 

In hindsight, what perception would you pass on
to the girl in your mirror, looking into your eyes?

Thanks for visiting.
Have a wonderful weekend!
