When a blow from life befell you unexpectedly
Did you ignore it uncaring
Not noticing if the sun rose or set in its finale of orange and red.
If the sky turned upside down and the stars fell about
Or the yellow moon refused to rise
And, in disgust, shunned the scented winds
Around your head, that daintily swirled around.
Feeling isolated but still unconcerned
......
If you dare look upon its reflection
Or have you the courage to look upon the face
Delve into your soul
Without self-admonishment or rejection
Though it holds many answers
So too does the mirror present many questions
The righteous existence of a soul
The solemn eyes that stare into it
Projecting endless depth and flawed perfection
