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
