A New Dawn

I look at a fallen leaf on the street
It makes me feel lonely and sad.
I look at all the other people who are happy while they sleep
And it makes me feel jealous and bad.

I look at the rain lashing on my window sill
It creates ripples of confusion in my mind.
I look at the wet muddy puddles
And they allow my muddy thoughts to grind.

I long when I see the azure sky
I long when I see sandy long deserts.
I wonder where among the Earthlings I lie
When would heal these hurts.

Then I see a form in my mind and my thoughts begin to cease
As bright as a star (when only one is shining in the sky) I see you and me.

You and me, lying together
On the very wet grass be-dewed by the same rain.
You and me, moreover,
Sharing thoughts of the same plane.

I see you, smiling with your eyes
And crying with them at the same time.
I see you, stretching out your hand
And interlocking it with mine.

Then it dawns when I realize
I'd seen my reflection in a mirror with my eyes.
