Mirror

I have all air around me,

But I cannot breathe freely,

I have sunlight in my room,

It does not wake me up.

Water drenches me coolly,

Still it fails to wet my eyes

And rolls over inside my heart.

I think over and see in the mirror,

It shows me the minutes passed by,

But I cannot see myself nor you.

Then I realized had I been a poet,

I would have missed them and you.
