Hello there, Ceiling

1.
In the bathroom today,
a stranger looked at me
from within the mirror.

2.
The world isn’t passed on.
It’s left behind and found
again and again.

3.
A strong earthy smell
as I pass a ripe fig tree
unlocks a memory.

4.
The advice he gave:
Instead of apologies,
always give thanks.

5.
I will always know
where I am when I see you
on the horizon.

6.
The grass is green here.
But I’ve known a place without grass,
and it’s greener there.

7.
Hello there, Ceiling.
It’s two in the morning.
I heard you calling.

As always, thanks for reading.
All feedback, thoughts, suggestions, criticisms, etc. are welcomed.
