It was quiet at first
But then it ran in to me straight away
of color coordinated clothing, healthy weight,
frosted hair and a countenance that I could situate
One that would push the truth up in such a way
That I could see, hear and feel
And value what it would reveal
It gave me a mirror
And as I said it I could hear
The meaning that directed me for so many years
For I knew as I said it
It would pull out the weed
The one that had poisoned my heart from its true need
To others in heart
To let down my guard
So I could be a part
The one that has become somewhat dark in despair
It helped me decide to turn on my light
To share it with others, to make it more bright
It is not too late
I can now join in and appreciate
