“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” — Anaïs Nin
Poetry
A Sea of Glass
I look at you and you at me
Reminding of what not to be
Because that face that I have seen
Has something from an awful dream
It says what I would never say
And speaks in such an awful way
That if I could I would forget
The desperate way I made that bet
That deal that made my life this way
That led to my fair heart's betray
To blame the one I didn't know
Would let me fail on my own
And keep me locked within a dream
To always play the things that seem
To keep me in some better way
When all around me life turns gray
And blue as every silent ocean
That keeps from you its every motion
A warbling, wandering melody
A sea of glass to show me me
