reflections

reflections?

this was his only 
probing question each week.

he squinted his eyes and
spoke this word
week after week?

reflections?

as if this one word question 
was enough 
to open the 
damned up secrets
and feelings,
thoughts and
desires 
deep within.

reflections?

oh,
indeed there was 
and remains 
plenty to 
reflect upon!

how we share 
what we think and feel,
who we share 
what we think and feel with...

well...
that all comes down 
to trust.

i am thankful 
for the gift of some 
mighty wise people 
who have created 
a space for trust
in my life...
who allow me to reflect
who not only listen
but offer me
patient,
nudging
reflections.

reflections?
indeed,
i have them.
