Reflection

Mirror, mirror on the wall

What's the biggest problem of them all

Wrinkles, bags, shadows, grey

Frown lines that deepen everyday

The mirror remains silent and clear

The voices that clamour

Are my own fears

No wrinkle, no bags, no shadow, no grey

Can keep you from flying

Or your dreams take away

I do that myself

In my bid for a future

That's safe and secure

No risk nor adventure

Forgetting the eagle

The river, the mountain

Securing my shackles

To divine intervention

I kiss goodbye

To a wild wondrous nature

And search in the mirror

For signs of aging
