The Stranger

There's a stranger looking at the mirror

Eyes full of yearning

A face of confusion and loss

Their tears a slight trickle of sand from an hourglass

Almost unnoticeable

Days creeping by into weeks, months and years

Bitter cold, anticipating a relaxing summer

Blazing heat, waiting for an icy winter

It never seems like much

But one day you step back

And suddenly there's a stranger looking at the mirror
