Reflection

I search for my own reflection,

In mirrors, windows and calm waters.

For I fear that a misconception,

Have arisen from my own desires.

_

That I see myself in the light,

Without my flaws and imperfections.

With such virtues and might,

I fear my mind a self-created delusion.

_

The truth lies in my still-life,

Hidden from view in my soul and spirit.

Like other truths it seek to strife,

To remain concealed without any merit.

_

Yet I search for it and it hides from me,

My reflection escapes me for all eternity.
