INNER MIRROR

Through eyes that don't see
Somehow you see more
Into a dimension of inner life
Listening with the heart

No lying eyes to deceive you
Seeing real beauty
As you cannot be fooled by a package
Seeing so clearly the genuine person

Hearing so keen
Knowing so much more
For you are not fooled
By what is only esthetic

Surrounding yourself you do
With only the real beauty
That which cannot be seen
Only felt & acknowledged within

So many with sight truly are blind
Only believing what they see
Never knowing who awaits underneath
Not searching deeper inward
To find true meaning, real connection

So much more to someone
Than what they show the world
What they hide so much more intriguing
Really listening takes time
To understand what is not being said

Really seeing and being with another
Takes so much more than most have
An effort the requires a special look
Into our own inner mirror to find ourselves

So honored I shall be
When I know it is me
That you really see
With your own true heart
Knowing that we shall never part
