MILLIONS OF YOU
Today I saw millions of you
All beautiful
All meaningful
All enhancing
I saw you
As a child
As a young woman
As a mother
As a grandmother
As a wife
As a lover
You all over
You everywhere
As a fighter
As a survivor
And some of you approached me
And helped me with my quest
And some of you smiled at me
And some of you did not noticed
And some of you descended on this place
In invisible parachutes
All of you beautiful
All of you
Married & single
All of you
Very much like you
Diligent and serious
Happy and relaxed
Occupied and industrious
You staring
You standing behind me
You making me nervous
Looking at me
With fire in your eyes
You waiting in you car
With a ring on your finger
Waiting for the girl
That looks like you
The one looking at my hands
Looking at my back
And oh those eyes
I can see them in the
Reflection of the window
You on the sand
You on the water that touches my lips
On the bread that caresses my tongue
On my mirror
On my bed
On my car
On my favorite pillow
You
Millions of you
On my soul
You
Marching on the street
You laughing with your friends
Who also look like you
You
The driver and
You the passenger
You
The beautiful detective
And you the exquisite nurse

I like this one - all of it - but especially the invisible parachutes and the last stanza.
Thank you Maria,
This poem has become somewhat popular. To tell you the truth, I am very proud of it.
