"Hourly Reflection"
Looking into the mirror of time
Reflecting past emotions too harshly
Forgetting experience for awhile
As memory's lies wash like soothing wishes
Across the seeming desert of my life's beach
Pounding waters as headaches
Cresting waves as hurdles
Splashing sacrifice as realizationLooking past the mirror of thought
Reflecting present tenseness too painfully
Forgetting memory for a while
As reality's truths rain like needles and pins
Across the seeming nakedness of my life's pincushion
Slicing pain as purpose
Searing cuts as serenity
Gaping holes as wells of touching peace
Hopeless pain as realizationLooking away from the mirror for a moment
Gazing intently at the water and the sky
Breathing the fire and the air
Walking away to exist for another hour
In hourly reflection
Of the mirror of time
