As water represents the truth,
A mirror of the world above,
May I reflect a heavenly view,
And duplicate Your perfect love.

Imitation
You are the gold
and I the reflection;
I am the copy,
You, its perfection.
If I can but mimic
Your brilliance and hue,
Impressionist painting
could point hearts to You.
Mirror, Mirror
Mirror, Mirror, frosted pane,
Frozen glass of snow’s domain,
Is this reflection true to me?
A frozen heart in frothy sea,
condemned to lie in icy form,
forgetful of a world that’s warm;
frigid with unbending stare,
becoming one with Arctic air.
2012
2012 in pensive mood,
reflecting on the days accrued;
counting moments, hours, rays,
until next year is called today.
Bony Fingers
Bony fingers rake the sky,
Piling clouds that crisply dry
above while sculpture starts to drool,
captured in inverted pool.
Mimic
Your beauty, so exquisitely formed,
Is borrowed from a heavenly place;
Your colors, by a sunset warmed,
Are copies of unearthly space;
Your tender charm, your fragile bloom,
Reflect the glory found above;
For, woven on Creator’s loom,
You mimic Him, whose soul bleeds Love.
If You Chose
If you chose, you could dwell in midnight shade,
Covered in shadows, a shroud of despair;
The darkness would hide, your infirmities fade,
If you chose the safety of blackened lair.
But here in the sunshine, your beauty blooms,
Radiance spills from your vulnerable stance;
Reflecting Creator, created resumes,
Tripping the light fantastic in dance.
