Enlightenment

i hold forth nothing more than open arms
only truth with brace and bind
glances gaze away as if grasp the sight
to learn is to forget while to know is to remember,
only truth will brace and bind
my form is weighed with patience
to learn is to forget while to know is to remember,
recalling an image that shines as it hides
my form is weighed with patience 
glances gaze away as if to grasp the sight
recalling an image that shines as it hides
i hold forth nothing more than open arms

Image In the Mirrow

IMAGE IN THE MIRROR                 4/15/01



That image in the mirror kinda looks like me,
Scratching and clawing at the glass trying to break free.

Reflection after reflection, and glare after glare
I know staring straight into it I should be standing there.

Every movement every inch, whether I move a yard or an inch.
That image in the mirror is definitely me,
Exactly as I see.

Crying out, than exhaling and being free.
