Mirrors of Memories by blackpanther

Glimmering mirrors green
Windows to past times

The shadow of your smile
Meets my eyes

An elusive ghost
A mirage
From a time long lost

My gaze meets his
Time freezes, stands still

In his gaze, I see the past
The Memory of it all

The many could have beens
All dreams
That never came to be

An echo
Of a lost life
A life cut short before its time

The pain remains
Yes, it lingers still
And always will

My Beloved
In my memory you will always stay

But then I am brought back to present times
Meet his questioning Eyes

The son, for whom you gave your life
The son, that I deep inside
Wishes was mine

But in his eyes
I still see your lingering smile
Glimmering like emeralds in sunlight
Promising that darkness has no might
Nor the final say

In him you remain
The Hope remains

In his gaze
The Promise I see

A promise of a new time
A New Life
