To Mirror SELF


the writer takes to pen
the artist takes to brush
the sculptor takes to hand
all in reflection
expressions created to mirror SELF
the dancer takes to form
the musician takes to sound
the teacher takes to concept
all in reflection
expressions created to mirror SELF
the lawyer takes to righteousness
the entrepreneur takes to profit
the politician takes to opportunity
all in reflection
expressions created to mirror SELF
the dreamer takes to vision
the believer takes to faith
the seeker takes to truth
all in reflection
expressions created to mirror SELF.
