Reflection

Reflection is a powerful thing, Nothing can stay hidden , As it stares back through your own eyes into the very core of things. It will bring you to your knees. It will strip away all vanity, All illusion, All avoidance, All fear. Drink from it. Soak it all in. Allow it to infiltrate the deepest darkest aspects of your being. Stay with it, As much as you might want to turn away, Create distance, Distract yourself. Do not break the potency of this stare. If it gets intense, Gaze longer, Further, Your senses heightened, No longer as you remember them. Let everything dissolve around you, Until nothing remains. Just you and your reflection. The beginning and the end. The source and the creation. The witness and the participant. The actor and the stage. The infinite dance.
