A Reflection...

Nagham Doun

In the middle of the water, I looked down …
Hoping to see my reflection …
But then, I couldn’t find my reflection …
I found a strange face …
I know this face, but I couldn’t decide exactly what it looks like …
For a second, I felt it a smiley one, then it changed to a tired face …
When I observed it for a while, I couldn’t see that face anymore …
Like it wasn’t there at all …
But enjoyed watching the reflection of lights on the water, the moonlight and the circles …

The circles that this boat is creating while finding its way in the river …
But then, I forgot everything about my face…
I forgot why I was on that boat …
I forgot why I was looking at the water … who I was looking for … and why…
