JANUARY 1ST PORTRAIT IN THE SHOWER

I see myself in the mirror as I look into my brown eyes, as I wonder about its seriousness.

My dark silent shadow stands quietly against the wall behind me staring back at us both.

I gather my thoughts to myself and ask myself questions about all of the wrongs that plaqued my past,

The questions held my mind hostage as I waited patiently for an answer that never came.

No there was no dialogue that came from my lips because they were remained closed, and silent.

As I jumped out of the shower the water beaded up, and rolled down my brown skin to the blue shag mat below.

I stood still like a mannequin watching, naked un moving as time  passed from seconds to minutes.

I was hypnotized by my own reflection that were hiding the secrets inside of my minds eye like a mask

I stood still and silent stone like, and stoic unseemly indifferent or  unaffected by any pleasure or pain.

I had just passed over the threshold from the old year into the new wondering what awaits me there on the other side.

I wondered how did destiny get me from there to here, and to the the place where I today I now stand.

I listened to the still silent voice speaking inside me, and knew that it was not only one voice that I heard but two.

The other voice addressed the soul of my flesh, and It was heard very clear, and distinct inside of me.

I realixed  it was the very same voice that had guided me down thru the years when dire crisis-es, and trouble turned in to be my treasures.

I had journeyed within, and I was lost within myself until I was suddenly snatched out to see me standing alone now dry, and the emptiness I had was gone.

I had a renewed feeling of reassurance inside telling me this year would be much brighter, and ectatic than I could ever imagine.

I Inhaled a breath of air, and exhaled a sigh of relief knowing the the best was yet to be, and I was yet to see Gods grace enfold.
