Reflections through my lens vis-a-vis Reflections in word
Alone among myriads
When words become scattered droplets
and reality, some sheer film of mist,
A singular reflected ray of light
grabs me by the ankle
and before vanishing, it says,
“look for me when you need me most…
If you find me, I am yours to hold
If you don’t, you’ll seek me
till you choose to forget”
And among the shivering shimmers on the surface,
Where truths ripple and lies fold over,
Where smiling masks float yet eyes plead guilty,
A lone image befriends…
**This poem marks the end of my hiatus from blogging and versing (thankfully!)… 🙂 And I am posting it for Week 40 of OpenLinkNight @ d’VersePoets – where awesomeness happens! **
How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
Oh, Kavita, one line really hooked me in its inventiveness! “Where truths ripple and lies fold over.” Fantastic vision. Well done piece, K! ~ j
Oh..thank you, Joseph!!!! Trust me, that line came to me as if by magic, while I was staring at those rippling reflections.. And I was writing the line, it made me feel very proud that I could think it up myself.. REALLY! 🙂 And I am sooooo glad you liked it too… thank you once again…

How have you been, my friend?
I have been well. Attempting to keep my blog going. Life seems to get in the way of quality writing though.
Hehhe…you can say that again, Mark!!!
This is beautiful and haunting, Kavita. That image stunned me when I first saw it, and I am stunned all over again reading your words.
Oh Patti… Your comments and appreciation just made my Friday perfect!!! It’s a very nice feeling when a fellow poet appreciates the thought that went behind writing a poem…thank you, my friend…
This really caught me and held me in its subdued, calm passion for that light that brings self-awareness. At first I did not see where you were headed with this, but as the poem progressed the words built in power and by the end I found a wonderful sense of epiphany. Excellent work.
I really appreciate the thoughtfulness behind your comment, chazinator! Your honesty and insight made me feel awesome about this poem…
Thanks ever so much for the kind words!!!!!
