The Place to Be

The Place to Be

Are we here
Or are we not?
Does the water mirror reflect
What I see
Or what is not?
Am I the one I see
The one to be
Or the one who is not?
I am certainly
The certainty of the existence
Of one who has passed
Beyond the barriers set up
By others who do not care
Beyond the walls
Walls that will fall
Over past trails
Making the past
Of those who are there
But not here anymore
I am the one I see
Reflected deep inside
The gazing eyes
In the mirror
By the waterside of time
