I walk along the calm waters.
Skipping rocks ever so gently.
Water rippling softly.
Crickets chirp thunderously,
as frogs vigorously jump,
from lily pad to lily pad.
~
I sit by the calm waters,
looking into them,
with the greatest of ease.
The reflection shining back.
is one I do not recognize.
For I no longer know myself.
~
I take one last glimpse of the calm waters.
Hoping to return someday soon,
as a new person.
Able to see herself and what she has become.
And more importantly,
able to like her reflection.
