My Reflection

So fragile is the mind of sinners
Surrounded by a myriad of mirrors
Each reflecting a part of one’s soul
Six hundred and sixty six hands
Reaching, gnawing and pulling within
To make complete a single purpose
Once the physical body has been deceived
By what it desires most in dreams and fantasy
Leading to eventuality, not reluctant naivety
To which un-truths shatter accurately into the heart
Reflecting questions upon a million pieces of thoughts
Into the Heavens where a million Angels await
Protecting the gentleness of love’s grace
From a million shards of pain and selfish prayers….

And on the other side of Eden,
The rains darken into a rich red
Then a golden ivory,
To the rejoicing smile, of the eternally setting sun…..

Marcel

Keith....

this is a wonderful piece
of writing, and I would not
change a word.

But I am easy to please,
so I would suggest placing this one
in Critical Analysis...to me
it is that good, I would read it again
just to see if anyone could comment
otherwise.

simply beautiful....
reminding me of how from time to time I've been jolted by a stunning sunrise, or sunset
which found some missing pieces for me.

thank  you for this

hmm.  That leads me to think of the other side of Eden.  A lot could be made of that. Thank you for the inspiration in this.
