Found

And there, in the mirror, a resurgence;
the twinkle in the eye, a smile behind the frown,
a sigh from upon another lightened sigh,
and a knowing nod from this happy guy.

And staring back at this bundle of the past—
is a glimpse of the future, well beyond
the time of the haunting veil that we all fear.
There stands alone a naked me, clothed in love,

warmed by a thick blanket of eternal salvation.
There I stand waiting to account for the way I act
not in that bundle of the past, before this discovery,
not before I suddenly see love in the mirror right there,

but from here today and from this day forward,
will be period of the lonely accounting..
And as I pull my eyes away from the mirror,
the love washes off this bundle of the past.

And I look to the now within me, and offer
to the first creature I pass a smile, eyes twinkling,
and the same love I have discovered here,
shining through me in the simple aura of peace.
