Stranger

Something for the "One Single Impression" Prompt:

bloodshot eyes staring
back from the shop window pane:
can this be my face?

And then some random ones...

lines blurring wildly
crossed, recrossed, left far behind
ghosts of mistakes past

I
want
my life
exploding with light
purpose shining from within
brilliant, bold, boisterous, brave, beautiful, buoyant
let me die knowing truly
that i faced each day
fearless
loved
kind

I love the shape of the last poem, like summer rising, and how it ends on the most beautiful note.

I had the experience of the first one early this morning. Egads.

I too like the last one very much.
