Poem Commentary

This is one of the poems that will be in my soon to be published book, Mystic Musings.

REFLECTIONS

In the mirror did I see

An image of me,

Doing everything I did,

Helping cover up what I hid,

 

Concealing

The fact that I had no feeling,

Was living a lie,

Couldn’t look myself in the eye,

 

And played the blame game,

Consumed with guilt and shame,

Fearing anyone who looked inside

Would see the ugly truth I tried to hide.

 

In the mirror I saw an optical illusion,

Merely a reflection,

Though bona fide,

Of what I was on the outside.

 

But it only belied

What did abide

In the deepest hole

Of my endlessly tormented soul,

 

Reminding me how teary eyed

I desperately tried

To hasten the arrival of a day

When the pain would finally go away.

 

Now in the mirror

The image is clearer.

No longer surreal,

It does reveal

 

A special place

Within that inner space,

Where it never rains

And peace forever reigns,

 

 And sparkling eyes

That hypnotize,

Through which I see a world of beauty

 And others see beauty in me.

Yes, indeed I am a voyeur in your sighting 'a world of beauty' and thus is revealed the beauty in you. You join the ranks of many teachers before (who visited our realm); here's hoping this time they listen and heed your advice.......

I could especially relate to this one, especially at this time of my life. Your experience has taught you very well, I must say.

Thank you kindly. yes I've learned and continue to learn from the greatest teacher. My primary purpose now is to pass on the benefit of those lessons.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
