Echoing Laughter of Uncaring Universe

Echoing Laughter of an Uncaring Universe
12 lines

I couldn’t look away
From my reflection
In the crystal mirror like lake.

I saw reflected in the lake
A shadowy figure
An old man looked
Out at me.

I screamed out
Who are you?
I heard nothing
But the echoing laughter
On an uncaring universe.
