– Reflections of an Inner Nature –

Like mirrors in the dark,
we reflect ourselves
with a remnant image;
A glow of ambiance ethereal,
light amplified until the shape
of the mirror is all we can see.

We compose ourselves
as a compilation of singular moments,
consolidate them to rationalize them
as tokens of compensation;
Pale in comparison to our true experiences.

There is no compromise
to forgive my past mistakes.
I am visible only through
these reflections of an inner nature,
the window of my soul polished so clearly
that they can see right through me.
