A Bird Flew of me
and I thought
What's wrong with me???

I tried looking at my reflection
in the mirror of water at my feet
I saw my self, all creased...
I looked old...
What's wrong with me???

I was confused... lost... almost depressed...
I couldn't understand... why the bird left me...
I couldn't accept... that I turned old & creased...
Worry grew... and took me over...
What's wrong with me???

Then I saw him
with camera in his hand...
He clicked my picture... one... or maybe two...
I thought he would call it "The Old Tree"
Disappointed I thought
What's wrong with me???

But then, he came back one day
with a print in his hand...
Said to me, "Look my friend... here you are"
And I saw...
A brid flew... but eleven were still there...
My reflection was creased... but it was water that had ripples
And I read the title...

Serene Reflection

He said, "It about how you look at it..."
"Nothing's wrong with you, friend."
