SHATTERED MIRROR

To Old Friends

 

After the many lives we've shared,

I must say goodbye

for now.

I wish you well.

 

The reflection of myself

through your eyes

is distorted, 

but that was the self I chose

at the time -

when I was the PLEASER.

 

Sadly,

That was the self

that you seem to prefer.

 

In my new life

I've shattered old mirrors

destroyed the false faces

and thrown

the broken shards

to the four winds.

 

 I've reached into the looking glass

and embraced my pain.

My new face stares back

crystal clear,

filled with visions

beyond imagining

and forgiveness

that springs

from a timeless source.

 

 I let you go

and hope we will meet

in equality,

when you recognize

your true face

and have no need for mine.

 

Until then,

I share my light

with Creation.

 

If you wish to see it,

simply

 ask.
