Walking in the shadows

through the glasses of time

seeing a bell

telling a story for a dime

 

A doppelganger appears

moving through the mist

reliving every moment

revealing some of life’s twist

 

In an earlier time

could this have been me

is this apparition good or evil

now hiding behind a tree

 

Walking along the path

seeing pain and suffering

knowing that I walk in the light

can do some buffering

 

Banishing the doppelganger

sending her into a shell

spreading kindness and joy

healing while ringing the bell
