Mirror Inside, a poem
Mirror Inside
Dreadful and shy
He peers in the mirror
Dying to feel what he’s trying to feel
But he feels is denied him
And the mirror’s inside him
Head full of sky
The clouds hide the sunlight
Head pierces skin soon he’s peering within
Dreams beginning in ebon
Light streams in like a ribbon
Furtively spy
Through the camera obscura
Shadows resolve reveal images of
Shapes dissolve desperation
Luminous liberation
Straining to fly
Secret winds in the doldrums
Boldly to hope not to beautifully mope
Gravity’s a cruel master
Quick escape quick fly faster
