As Clear as the reflection in the mirror
It is not who she be
But who she would have you see
Layers covering a core so frail
Sealed by the notion
That the image of perfection
In some way shape or form
Conceals the insecurity that truth now..... exudes
She is Lost
Though Smiles bright,
cages a tongue if let loose
Only melodies of melancholy will spill
While hoping that a hopeful will whisper hope
Not to her ear cause it'll fade
But to her heart cause it'll stay rooted in truth
That where there is life there is hope
Cause to her it is literal
Life in the Closet
Confirmed though contradicted
With ripples that only process can sustain
Eyes concealed
Hiding tear marks from fear
That if tomorrow never comes
She returns with her fingerprint
Leaving the world unaffected
by the specific purpose of her being
Expressionless she Standstill
to the Cynic's voice she now ad hears
Giving in to whatever will have her today,
For fear that her strength fails
And tomorrow's outcome depends on today's fight
Through rehearsal of rational thought
She Contemplates steps to take
In the Fork of choice
With the options screaming
Though the deep may consume
The shallow is of no effect
So Helpless she stares in the mirror
What He Created, She still admires
But hardly believes in
Carrying weights never intended for her
How do she be SHE
And a voice springs out
Not to the ear
For whispers of unbelief may dilute
But to the heart
For it's intention is to take root
teaching truths only now perceivable
Let the tears wash the concealer off
These very eyes concealed if revealed
will appeal to the thirsty
For you As a well being dug.
Face the Layers penetrated
Creating a void which
Poses the very questions
By Grace you will one day answer
For understanding you will encounter
If you will dare to trust
It is the Emptying that exposes the refreshing
Though the drilling extracts dirt
It propels you to the water
Making you a source
Promotion over validation
Because for once you do not need to be needed
As water, You just are
So naturally, they draw,
And this time it's ok
Allowing for dismissal of false approval
Dependent on the facade
That Perfection is my reflection
When in actual fact I flee the illusion
Depriving you of provision of my Grace
So as Clear as the reflection in the mirror
It is not you, but who I will have you see
Connecting the dots between inside and out
Reflecting what you can become
through the Glory of my Presence
Representing the finer things
But independent of the very things you seem to be made of
For the very void hidden in the image of perfection
Now reflects not a cover
but a manifestation of prophecy
That you are made in my image
So when it comes time to discard the layers
You do so gladly
Cause this new mirror reflects the inside of you.
Why this journey
There is a major factor we most often fail to consider when we make plans for the future, that factor my friends, is called Life.In my mind I picture it like the game Hide and Seek.You have a few minutes to find a spot, and Ready or not.. here it comes. Life unravels itself in the most random way sometimes, and regardless of how much we prepare for it, I am learning that there are certain things we will just never see coming.
As Human beings we are all vulnerable to the Whens, Whys, Hows and Wheres that the various circumstances we face throw at us. Sometimes it's just that tiny little piece of the puzzle we are searching for, and other times it's the uncertainty about where to begin.
So I began a journey,a search is to discover what it was in me that was constant. I wanted to know the thing that stands true even when hit with the greatest paradox in life,that immeasurable gap between my dreams and my reality.
This Blog is all about that journey. An attempt to hold unto one thing I am certain was the same the day I was born, and will stay true till I die.
Giving my Life to Jesus has released to me what I believe is the greatest treasure of all times. The best way I can describe it is as, is a Personal mirror of truth.I must admit that my reflection scares me most of the time, for the simple fact that it is perfect.I must admit that I have been bothered by the parallels of what I see and how I feel but slowly I see possibility of these paths merging. This Perfection, I have come to understand to be the way GOD sees me. It is independent of what I have said or not said, what I have done or have not done. It is that part of me that does not fluctuate.
I look deep into this mirror and though what I see must be true, it seems so hard to believe because it is contrary to what i know of myself.
I am hoping that through this journey , I can grow to share God's Perspective which is The reflection in the mirror.It is Clear now and I hope it becomes even clearer, I am just perfect for the Job He has for me.
I hope these reflections, prayers, poems and thoughts will strike a cord in you too and maybe we all can start looking past what Life says about us, to finding our own mirrors and admiring that perfect reflection in the Mirror.
