The Ripple

I looked into the mirror today
It looked right back at me
I'm not who I used to be
Am I really me

Thoughts rushed through my mind
blurring with the speed
Images rushing past my need
to say what must be said

Time is my master
It flows within my head
Controls the way I go
And what I plan ahead

What lies ahead is in the mist
Of time and ages past
And lives gone before me
To pave the path ahead

One day I know that I will see
The path I should have trod
And hope that my small ripple
Will not destroy the pond
