The Mirror of the Mind

The reflection of consciousness,

A pinch from within…

An unapologetic form of expression,

The reality that finally settles in.

 

The mirror of the mind ignites thought,

Connecting logic to the heat of emotion.

Emotions that trigger deep-seated feelings,

Turning quiet wonder into a piercing question.

A question that unearths a jagged reality,

Leaving you to long, leaving you to wish.

 

Yet, this mirror remains an inner reflection—

A light only you can direct.

You hold the power to make it right,

Or leave the image as it is.

 

Fear the emotion no longer;

Run no more from the weight of the feeling.

Face the reflection with steady eyes,

For the mirror of self requires only healing.

 

I am me because with you, we are a force.
