WHEN I DISAPPEAR


In my silence you can still see me
When word are not spoken
Or thoughts keep silent untold
Will you hold me until the sun returns

Sometimes the mirror frightens
It becomes difficult to look
You do look beyond these times
Into the inner and beyond self

Infinite in possibilities
But random in accessibility
Roll the dice and I may be there
How can this be explained, ponder

In no simple terms
For it is as complex as simple
Add two numbers
Without finding a sum

The mirror bends in time
Warping perception in memory
The feel of youth not forgotten
The smile returns and the world remains
