Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Mirror, Full Moon, Lake

I wish I was more like a mirror, 
Reading others exactly as they are.
Then letting them know they are beautiful,
Like a beautiful shooting star.

I wish I was more like a full moon, 
Gazing at poets and dreamers at night.
And I’d forever be letting the people there know, 
That it’s all going to be alright.

I wish I was more like a flat lake of water,
A muse to a woman meditating.
Nurturing her soul, her beautiful self, 
Her mind I’d be freely liberating.

But most of all, I wish I was more like myself, 
Helping, protecting, and liberating with a flame.
Living a life of pure happy and honest, 
Respecting and honoring our name.
