| He still does it The old bird Leaves the lake And good fishing Watches his reflection Black and white Distancing itself From happy blue Wavelets Up and up Those aerials helping. Trees passed In the ascent Barren rocks the target And fasting And scraping of the beak Fresh and new and sharp And thinking oft Of clouds and airways Way overhead Seemingly unreachable Without Creator’s uplift. How much time there In the refining Not the bird’s call certainly But the waiting And the watching Both good. ___________________

| INFLECTED VISIONI look through my reflection in a windowA transparency of me stares backAs i gaze into the world outsideSave for the sound of thawing snow dripping from the eaves…The night is calmFrom my restless slumber did I awake?The warmth of my lover’s side did I forsake?To stare at nothing?To peer into myself?Or perhaps to create an illusion in my mind to substituteFor something…Imagined…Felt… Missing?I stood before “self”Entranced…Compelled to look out through my reflection…Overlooking…My e-v-e-r-y imperfectionAs if searching for something lostAs though…Some elusive panacea lay…In the shadowy realms beyondAnd it occurs to me…That with equal intensityIn the cold dark night…Through hungry eyes…My reflection,IS LOOKING IN!(Written 1995 A.Gomez)___________________ " To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary.
