VISIONS OF PERU - VISIONS OF MY WORLD

 

Reflections, Monique Pineda

In a lake, hidden in the forest surrounded by giant trees,

In the cool dawn,

white clouds in abstract forms are reflecting in the water.

Birds are looking for their daily meals,

with cries resounding in the distance.

It is in this lake I see the reflection of my face.

This face reflects the pureness of my soul in the past.

This is the face of a child shy and fragile,

of a soul curious to discover the future with hope of adventure.
