You are in a world of distorted mirrors
Some send back smiles and others tears

Everyone reflects a different aspect of you
Traits you don't like are teachers just as true

So do not resist for it will certainly persist
Honor the whole self, everything you can list

Life on earth is nothing but a refining fire
A place for rebirth and to hone one's desire

A classroom for the soul with lessons to learn
Cyclic like the seasons as they take their turn

When you're experiencing winter and feel all alone
Remember the summer and the fruits you've grown

But do not try to hold on to what has already past
Just savor the knowledge and in your heart it will last

We each have a shadow that is hard to hold dear
As you love every smudge, the mirror becomes clear

Transparent and humble, a pure reflection of grace
When you look all around seeing only the beloved's face

peace,
mikey

The phoenix of humanity
Will heal the calamity

As the old world ends
And our hearts blend

Humanity will rise
Beyond all the lies

Out of separation
No more frustration

Light will keep growing
As we shine our knowing

If we keep following our bliss
There is no way we can miss

Darkness will have no place to hide
In a world full of love instead of pride

peace,
mikey

we're in this creation that has no end 
how may i serve you my eternal friend?

what is it that you truly seek?
take a look inside...take a peek?

what is your life long dream?
how about we form a team?

do you want to hide or chase?
smile...it looks good on your face  

and that is all i ever desire to do
helping to keep a smile on you

that goes for each and every one
a planetary smile to reflect the sun

wouldn't that be a sight to behold?
a global warming as our hearts unfold

all that is left is to demonstrate
love is our creator...love is our fate

whenever i give i am soon to be gifted
a universal law...one who uplifts is uplifted

imagine us all raising each other up
saying "i love you" instead of "what's sup?"

peace,
mikey

you can never depart
you can never return

there is only the heart
when will you learn?

consciousness continues
on and on and on and on...

christians...muslims...hindus
no matter the faith you don

beneath beliefs...awareness shines
essence hidden...the surface blinds

like rainbows branching
from the white light

the one creator is dancing
as the many forms of sight 

the question i ask,
"what do you see?"

you have only one task
serve all of infinity

peace,
mikey

there's always another rung
to the ladder you climb

when one verse is sung
you need another to rhyme

seeking forever
to reach the peak

you can never
you only get a peek

the ladder
has no ending

sooner or later
it's all depending

on what you decide 
each choice is a mountain

a most exhilarating ride
the free-fall full of shouting

rising back up on hope
the rush as you anticipate

the loopty-loop after the slope
the roller coaster of life is great

peace,
mikey
