The Mirror of Life

In the mirror of life the ripples of time project anew  
while each moment of light simply reflects back to you;
Every changing nuance captured from a distance 
is focused to the point of radius, it's your accrue 

incurved leaning towards your personal perception 
the mirror of life delivers the path to your personal truth 
Whether accurate or not you shape your reflection 
according to what you see and what you deduce; 

Intuit thoughts arise and suddenly the mirror cracks 
with arms wide open, come to accept yourself 
In a world of monumental perfect, flaws are beautiful too
the mirror of life is kind to you, when you decide to look 

deeper than the surface, wider than the sea 
in the end the mirror says, " it's always been you and me "
