Headlight Reflection

 

 

I catch a glimpse of her in the window

Head lights reflecting off the scratches

Her knowing look

Her smile that never leaves

The wisdom in her eyes

I catch her face in the mirror

Late a night after good days

She’s there for just a moment

This face that I know but is unknown

The beauty I caught before

Flame and books and nightmare tales spun

I can glimpse her just for a moment

Than the light fades away

In the second glimpse peak
