Minds Eye

Minds Eye
I was thinking
The other day
How we see people
In our mind
When they are
Not in your presents
What do we see
Do we see in Black and White
Do we see in Color
Is it a picture
Of the last time
We saw the person
Or is it a photo
Of another time
Casual images of
People in the course
Of a day
Mailman
Checkout girl
Postman
Butcher
How do we see them
The last time image
That is formed
Over time
And what about people
You care for
A special person
A lover
A friend
A spouse
A daughter
A son
I see in color
A woman so fine
Like rose petals
Her smile
So broad
So excited
To see me
I see this image
When we are apart
Smiling
