mirror

I looked in the mirror and saw
a flaw
in my complexion.

Is that a worthy thing to notice
important to observe
in my lovely reflection?

Rest your eyes.
Still your mind.
Look again.

I looked in the mirror and saw
a light
so breathtakingly beautiful
Remorse could not surface.

The absurdity of looking for anything
less than perfect
rebounded with a force so powerful
the glass shattered.

Scrutiny is not for the mirror,
It is for the Soul.

I looked in the mirror and saw
a flaw
in the spance of my hips.

Rest your eyes.
Still your mind.
Look again.
