In The Mirror


As she touches the surface of her mirror
this potrait eludes reality.
For her defined description is merely at a loss.
Evidence of herself is subsiding.
She will fade as the grass.
She will melt like the ice.
She will leave like the wave upon the shore.

Seek her no more.

Vanity calls and asks for a return.
To see again the curves, the depth, the creation.
For a moment of elation.
But, for a moment she remembers
the figure has not defined her.
The reflection has faded as she has grown stronger.

Unstable

 The clouds are unstable So too are the waves But my faith is stable, solid. Rally and debate is unstable. Fire and Water too. But, God hold us safe.

Reach

 I both reach and retreat. I want you and want nothing to do with you. It is predictable that I both hate and love you. I want you near and must retreat. Like a civil war and trip to Disney Land. You are my contradiction Both push and pull. America, I pledge allegiance and protest you for being immoral.

Trust

Trust our neighbors… Love our enemies… Open borders… Lay down our lives… Give of ourselves… High calling… Realized in the first century
