MIRROR IMAGE
g.sam

we grow by force, if not by choice
encouraged by an inner voice
that prods us on towards the truth
obscured by innocence and youth
forever present while we sleep
the treasures of the fertile deep
awaiting ready minds of all
who heed the silent mirror call
to look beyond the bounce of light
reflected first for simple sight
and see the honest face of soul
for this remains the greatest goal.
