When I am still
I am a quiet pond.
You look at me
but do not see me.
You see your reflection.
I look at you
and I see your face
within mine.
You are alone
and I am both alone
and not alone.
When my face
is moved by your tears
you no longer see yourself
You see me
and stop crying.
When we have seen each other
we are calm
and we smile together.
