MIRROR MIRROR

MIRROR MIRROR read by the author

Now we see in a Mirror dimly

Then we shall see face to face

But what do we see in reflection simply?

What fits us to win in our lovers race?


Our Brother's message was loud and clear

Love everyone as I love you and hear

A Clarion call dispel all the aged fear

Of a flesh driven world; then a heaven appear


A heaven appear upon bedrock of trust

In a Lord laying out his own body as crust

For the hungry and haunted, failed and daunted, lovers in lust

Laying out their liberty for world riches turned dust


So what do we see in reflection?

Can we see past that face of rejection

Into life? Past the strife, the knife of section

In a World of plenty---- with Love in election


Sin is simply that which stands between

Man and God and all Love means

To invest in hearts invention; blessed dreams

Of trysts of Grace and Peace; idyllic scenes


Idyllic scenes just set to come to life

Memories of sudden bursts of irridescent light

Flooding emotion, setting adrift the tacky tawdry tripe

Of daily strife, greedy rife and constant carping fight


What are these sudden bursts of irridescent light?

They are all based on emotion, lovers truest sight

Of heavenly values placed within, to soundly set in flight

The quantities of worldly things, pretence that might is right


The Lovers sound, the Baby's cry

The Child in want, the haunting Eye

The rolling Landscape, lashing Sea

The Mountain Grand and Humming Bird wee

The cry of hope, the brave man stand

Against the odds, the loss of land

For others on God's earth

And never mind the worth

Of worldly things


What is the pleasure in ten thousand set in servitude to you

Compared to the emotion of one lost, set free by thee

So GOD doth intervene

Truly set the scene

Of Life to come


The sound of child in laughter

Giggles loud and free

Hiccups in the take of air

Caused by act of me

And my life soars, away from earthly thing

Responding hard and strong to that celestial ring


Of hope that is heard

By the Man of the "Word"

Of Faith in Me
