Reflective Lights

  "Reflective Lights"




Refraction's sunlight reflects shadows on my walls.

Plays havoc on the mind's sleep.

I leap into a steep floor.

Only to run out an exit's door.

Flying into thin air without a second to spare.

I will disappear and reappear within a year.

How this magic transpires is only clear to me.

A vision which never happens and no one can see.



It costs sweat to be free.

Air is lost and water bought at such cost.

Soil and oil are commodities over which they fought.

Men died and women and children cried.

While the livers told lies to stay alive.

As a breeze blew by in a burgundy sky.



Garbage was tossed as teeth were flossed.

The livers bossed and the lovers lost.

Living lessons taught and learned.

By those whom it may have concerned.
