The Memory Window

All that colour, perhaps it's green
 Memories of a me I once was  
 
Maybe  
I can't remember.  
 
Those small things, are they petals?  
But they're green, so no, something else  
Leaves me confused  
About where I am,
What is this place? 
  
And what lies between me and there? 
I see nothing, only someone's reflection.  
 
Is that me?  
 
I raise my hand, something solid  
Stops me knowing 
 
I'm not seeing the wood for the trees.
