Spotless Mirror
Quote: “Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.” ~ Khalil Gibran
In the stillness of a pond, pure and clear,
The lilies dance, their beauty sincere.
Each petal reflected, every detail near,
In the mirror of water, devoid of fear.
A calm ocean mirrors the skies above,
Where larks soar high, on wings of love.
Their graceful flight, a sight to behold,
In the vast expanse, their stories unfold.
But alas, when algae cloud the pond's embrace,
Or waves disrupt the ocean's tranquil grace,
The reflections fade, lost without a trace,
Obscured by nature's chaotic chase.
So too, the pure heart, a spotless mirror,
Reflects infinite beauty, clearer and clearer.
But when veiled by doubts or tainted by fear,
The images blur, unable to adhere.
Let us tend to our hearts with utmost care,
Keeping them clean, and free from despair.
For in their depths, lies a beauty rare,
Reflecting the universe, in a love affair.
