Analytical Mind

by Mikki

Memories flash by--
Blissful, Peaceful,
Joyful thoughts
without emotion.

Trapped within
my own analytical mind;
completely helpless.

I can't even bear
to see my own reflection
I am so empty!

My soul returns
Like the spring
returns each year.
I am awakened!!!

I look into your eyes,
My very soul reflected.
Again, we are one.
