New reflection at dawn

A bird gazing into a pond does not see feathers

Rather ripples washing over a familiar face

Not an exact reflection

Only an imitation

"Meet me halfway" says the voice

Birds do not think twice

To dive headfirst would mean death

The living alone await each breath

to finally wander, find new hosts

The veil between worlds fades

Look before it flees

To see the other side we must drown

As a bird gazing into a pond once saw

Peering up at a new reflection this dawn
