Poem Title:
Poem
Little of one is directly ourself shown True reflection not oft on display A murk through which we see not each other Indiscernible behind curtains of grey To reach for another without mirrored emotion Is apt to cause misunderstood pain For life is meant to be clearly apparent Images returned have meaningful say In searching through fields of tinted reflection Hoping to find truth and devotion Chance did I upon honest return Amid scores of shadow-mirrored emotion This image a likeness unto itself Crystal in opulent ray Upon this mirror forever I gaze Images returned have meaningful say A mirror return full of hope and promise Such is life's sole position To cast such view returned upon the world Would fill my heart with pride-filled mission Such image is cast into my life Given by one with joyous display Content to withdraw her shading and cloak Images returned have meaningful say With such image brightening my soul Reflecting directly open upon my heart Caught in its trance - hypnotic of style My barriers of defense soon fall apart Thus, into this view I cast my life Knowing inside their must surely be way To join this image in its totality of grace Images returned have meaningful say If clear reflection I too might cast Between might bid we free forever sorrow Returning truth of purpose to each Guiding the other into tomorrow A life of two - mirrored halves One and each the other's incident ray Happiness found between clarity of love Images returned have meaningful say "The Poet Who Lies Within"
