A poem a day for 2013 - day 163 - In the mirror

I am not looking for myself
I know that I am here
I am the woman in this seat
In this right now
Mine is the voice in my ear
Reminding me to smile
To hold it
Like hot chocolate in my mouth
My hands hot from the steam
My arms around my shoulders
Rock myself to morning
Stay in the moment
This moment
This moment right here
I keep singing
Keep drafting love notes to myself
Stay
Here
Tomorrow come
Soon before I know
With its own lessons
To seed
