A MIRROR (A POEM)

Amid Priorities 
In Life And Art 
Amongst The Many 
Who Are Very Own 
Inside The Self 
Of One's Own 
Life Is Beating Down 
Life Is Seeking Renown 

Between 
Memories And Desires 
Falls A Shadow 
Dark And Impregnable 


We Live In Shadows 
We Are Condemned To Be A Spy Or A Chaser Of Shadow 
Countless Yet Only One 


Where There Is No Shadow 
There Is No Life 
Light Is 
Because Shadow Is 
Life Is 
Because Shadow Is 

Our Bodies May Have Language 
Conveying Things 
That Our Tongues Can't 

But 
Our Soul Has No Language 
It Exists In 
Surrender And Silence 


A Mirror Has No Speech 
Only Reflections: Impartial And True 
To Be Judgemental In Life 
An Act 
Of 
Utter Ingratitude! 
Existence Whispers 
In Silence 

Memories Ruffle Feathers 
A Few And A Far 
Desires Born And Die 
In Solitude 
And 
With A Sigh
