Mirror, Mirror

Seeker

I gaze upon the mirror of my heart

and see a tumult in a vast morass

What manner of lie does it fain impart

I don't believe the image in the glass

Belief or not, the light of truth digs deep

in the most painful and rich veins of gold

Our secret of secrets lay in this keep

So study the reflection and behold

the self without the guile you may desire

Facades of drama that create a shroud

to hide the human joy we need so dire

Our suits of doom fit like an oath avowed

 

It's just there now, view solace long forgot

Redemption waits, but hasten, time will not

    Well written and expressed

    • Seeker

      As ever thank you Tony I appreciate your stopping by always. And thank you for the kind words. I rewrote the last five lines of the piece because I wasn't happy with the horse analogy.
