Mirage

I touch the frosty glass,
And for a brief moment
In the night
The shadow suddenly grows
Closer.
My imagination ? Maybe...

I know you found peace
On distant shores.
How is it to live
There?
How is it to breathe ?
My fear? maybe ...

I know our life is a gift
Of downs, ups,
Rules of the game,
But at the frosty side
Of the glass
You wait
I feel
And I will come
To you one day
Or night.
I never have enough
Of sadness, love
And voices in the mist

We live a neverending time, the individual lifetime experience allows us to give a subjective meaning to the reality that surrounds us, sometimes someone share our feelings..our emotions
