Peeking from the other side
Stood a little girl with wider eyes
Familiar was her looks,
kinder eyes and dimpled smiles,
Curiosity and confidence oozed from her
Seeking something, maybe dreams!
I looked back at her,
Confusion and chaos by my side,
My lips in frown
And a complete silence!
A spark lit somewhere in her
And with her the room was bright!
Conversations poured out from her
Touching the lives of those passerby’s
I desperately sought her spark
Alas, couldn’t get to the other side!
Her soul radiated happiness
while mine merely flickered
With the existence of my living.
The little girl now looked straight
Hopeful to glimpse a better me
I simply shook my head
Knowing the uncertainty of what lies ahead!
Yet she stood with all her might
Glimpsing herself from the next 30 years!
Reflecting a silence in her where once stood lots of conversations!
