WONDERS

By Chelshi Loyall

Wonder, what's in there

Why am I so distracted?

Who's been there, choking me?

I took one step

In a stream of water

I found myself standing..

The shadow, the eyes

Were same as mine

I asked,

Are you me?

The image were standing still

Quiet, calm, filled with peace.

I looked up

Moon was bright

In a quiet night

Clouds were its guards

But,

They were falling apart

Breeze through my ears

Saying-

Let's go somewhere

Up above the sky

We'll fly..

All this I felt

in this very second

I said to the shadow

Where have you been?

Never felt this before..

Did you share your peace with me?
