Reflections

Quote No.1
   “As you live deeper in the heart~
        The mirror gets clearer and cleaner.”
                                     _Quote by Rumi

Oh God,
You have created me
In your image and likeness-
The mirror of your love.
What do you see
When you gaze upon me?
Your image and likeness?
Or just a hazy semblance
Dulled by the sticky film that forms
On a mirror left unattended?
Your image is surely there, Lord.
Teach me, I pray,
To faithfully cleanse away that film
Which obscures the clarity of you-
Those everyday pollutants 
That distorts your reflection-
So that, what you are
And what you see in me,
Are clearly, one.

Bill Lindsay October 14, 2015 at 11:35 AM How lovely; this could easily sit alongside the best of the Psalms. ( Perhaps Psalm 63? ) King David himself would have been proud to have penned it.
