Faces

Faces in my mind,
Some of them refined,
A few in their prime,
More to blossom with time.

Long and short,
Round and square…

Friends always there,
Loved ones kept with care,
Enemies are rare,
Others to meet yet unaware.

Black and white,
Dark and fair…

Count the many places,
So many shapes and races,
Come and gone in graces,
This mind is full of many faces.

Young and old,
Here and there…

Faces in my mind.
