My Point of View
Saline Nicole Levu-Tevaga 1981 (San Francisco, CA)
Where could it possibly be?
From a distance there are no shelter
There is no music to hear
Only a mirror in the water
Where is my reflection?
Dark and cold, silence remain still
I vision watching you close
Wish my sense of touch were real
Where does it shine, I wonder?
A wall full of holes
The naked trees daring and scarce
A portrait Mother Nature unfolds
Where do I stand from here?
A stranded image not alone
Lost and winded, shamelessly
The deep and long-awaited tone
About this poem
This poem is literally about my shadow. I was in a state of mind of finding self-reflection and seeking perspective.
