A Search For the Psyche

A body of water stands before me
It mirrors all in its view 
Like a glass sculptor 
Echoing back to its sea
It seeing everything in its path
Changing only when daylight moves 
It shows us things 
We may not what to see 
With all the images it proves 
No place for hiding 
No time for sorrow 
No time left to borrow 
It shifts and divides 
The images ripple 
With movement 
And a slight 
Dripple
A reminder of our inner 
Self 
And so we look away 
From the pain 
And in a gaze 
To see only 
A Thinner ideal
Of 
Anima
