REFLECTION

When I look into his eyes
I see a reflection of self-disguise
Unmindful the illusion existed
Captive in a mirror, contorted and twisted

Sustained by the reflection I see
In a world reversed I cannot flee
Bookends separated and volumes apart
Both halves together make but one heart

The force that drives perpetual motion
Steers me far from love's devotion
Beguiled and held captive pray
Trapped inside unfulfilled days

Hourglass chambers grant subdivision
Of time sands gone without precognition
Diction amends slang
Yin supports Yang
White - Black
Silver - Gold
Opposites attract - But can they hold

Finding one's soul makes you complete
Without its mate, love fades bittersweet
Elusive love, lost and berated
Tarnished by a mirror, cracked and faded

Admission transposes acknowledged fears
Hope springs eternal through undried tears
A mere reflection cannot contain
A soul sculpted by any ordinary man

Grateful to God, Sculptor of my clay
In preparation for a finer day
