LEANING OVER A POOL OF STILL WATER

WE ARE MIRRORS

Come sit by me for a moment

let me look into the pool of your eyes

that I might see what you show me

of the world we live in.

You are a reflection

of that which you surround yourself with,

is the surround changing you,

are you changing the surround?

Reflect the light of the sun

you will change the darkness,

reflect the darkness,

nothing changes at all.

We stroll in worlds

without looking to see

what we are putting

in place through the reflection

that can change everything—or nothing.

Come, sit, rest and reflect.
