The sun’s breath came down
To bless my face,
But I did not allow it.
A breeze drifted over me
Wanting to kiss my eyes,
And I looked the other way.
A bird sang,
Thanking the Universe for a beautiful day
And I did not smile.
My lover asked me a question,
But I did not answer it.
I walked for a while
Through familiar places
Passing many strangers
And some friends,
Without seeing them.
Angels tapped my shoulder
And smiled at me,
With radiant faces,
But I ignored them.
My pillow whispered
Words of wisdom,
I brushed them aside.
Early morning gifted its tenderness
Only to be dismissed, unnoticed.
Photographs and objects,
Claimed my attention.
Reminders or warnings,
Of past and future,
I don’t know.
Slowly, I became weightless,
Then I turned transparent,
Finally, I looked in the mirror
And I was not there.
