I look in the mirror,
Looking back at me,
Many faces, many lives,
Reach out through time—
Greet me.
*****
Forgotten memories arise,
Reflections of choices made.
Met with love and forgiveness,
Old wounds heal, scars fade.
*****
Masks removed, no place to hide,
Will we have the courage to rise?
Meet ourselves in the mirror,
Face the fears we denied.
*****
If only you could see
Yourself through my eyes,
You'd see love,
You'd see innocence,
Kindness, compassion,
A gentle disposition.
But if you don't believe
What your heart knows is true,
You'll never see the beauty
Of your own true self—
The real you.
*****
If life is but a reflection
Of our inner reality,
Break through the illusions;
Create a world where
Your heart dances
Light and free.
