The Man in the Looking Glass! The Conquering Hero!
As the bright yellow sun
climbs over the mountains
and winks at the green valley below,
blue children play among the flowers.
As I float peacefully on a calm blue sea,
enjoying the starlight
dancing all around me!
Rainbow creatures poke
their heads’ above the water,
and gaze at me adoringly.
But do they see the real me?
or do they only skim the surface
like a dog sniffing a bone?
Seeing the face in the mirror
but not the one standing here alone!
When the face in the mirror is mistaken
for the one gazing into the mirror,
it’s time to smash the mirror
and SET THE REAL MAN FREE!
I’m so different now,
that when I look back
on the person I used to be,
that person seems like a dream!
It’s like a butterfly
looking back at its former life as a caterpillar,
crawling along the ground like a grub
when now it can fly!
I feel sorry for that person,
sometimes I feel joy, sometime I feel shame!
Sometimes I have to shake my head
in disbelief, at some of the crazy things
that person was willing to do
to obtain “love” from others!
That was before I discovered that I’m the conquering Hero
he was SEEKING TO LOVE HIM ALL THE TIME!
