Why Check the Mirror
Have your heart not disappear...
the surface we are so deceived...
the striving reality torturing seems...
all truths delicately housed
inside like a dormant welcome mat...
...when all is well and deemed peaceful the truth
will freely attract...
...fashion fused with fiction...imagery
freely on display...
...a spirit that has delegated...until
the light of day...
many myths delved hence comical
...yet resurgent common sense tempting
...still we disbelieve...
...some see right through mere image...
that which the mirror does not reveal...
...the feeling transfers...this the
great belief...
diversion our biggest critic...
seldom do we really look and see...
the tawdry mirror...has the image to
escape...who is that staring back at me...
the surface image fragile delicate...
a play unto itself...
...the soul searchlight we can rely
this truth shalt not defy oneself...
