The Hermit Reflects

The Hermit,
The Misfit,
Cast into light.

Pushed by shadow,
uncomfortably,
Blinding masses without fight.

Different priorities,
Contrasting Seasons,
Flowing around and behind sight.

From every direction,
Endless layers unite,
No separation in the shine.

Looking closer,
A pillar standing,
Inability to stay polite.

Golds and pearlescence,
Kind and transparent,
Good with all of her might.
