Reflection

**REFLECTION** Running through a wheat dream Clear skies, worms and flies, my face cries Surrounded by silver streams I stumbled into a valley where sleepness never dies A manger on fire, burning embryo of lies no time for final good-bye's Waking up alone in the middle of a field Rain falls from the sky, to bless my soul Above the silver lining of mirrored clouds I lay a bouquet of flowers on your grave Angered by the thought of my birth Where has my salvation gone? Rescued by the hand, of the one I can not see Tormented in life's final step Silent mistreated never understand Arid of hate dooming everyday Something evil ruins the last hold of my hand My mouth hit by the door, when I pray A ricochet shot when my life was revealed Fallen in and out, after unwanted betrayal tounges Alone with my reflection is where I stand Broken Mirrors, the only thing I see! 7 years of current bad luck. *
