Mirror

We are a collective mirror 
reflecting 
    narrow perceptions 
from a point of view 
within the growth of forgiving. 
Without an outlet to define us, 
we stagnate and serve 
ourselves plates of 
         disappointments. 
Visions erupt inside 
                 out thoughts 
about the world divided 
             into different names. 
Images of other gods 
          are prolific in 
                our collective 
 sense of awareness. 
We are not able to 
         emerge as butterflies. 
We are not capable of 
           becoming actualized. 
The mirror does not exist. 
There is nothing to reflect.

A lot of questions raised in the poem. Easy to become a part of a large picture. Hard to break free. Some people can be butterflies if they can stand for life and dreams. Ain't many. Powerful poetry. Open the senses to think and ponder. A excellent poem.

Sad, but I think very well written. :)

I think you want "Vistions erupt inside our thoughts" you have out right now. Otherwise I think this piece is very well written. I'm not sure I see the point in the formatting, but then I find that changing the formatting is always lost on me. Excellent Poem ^_^

This reminds me of living in the now... as is moments. A nice twist on the mirror. To use it for no reflection at all is very creative and makes one think ;) xxx

This is a very compelling piece... "We are not able to emerge as butterflies. We are not capable of becoming actualized. The mirror does not exist. There is nothing to reflect."...Such a devastating thought! But Michael, I do want to be a butterfly...I want to know that I can change... Isn't that what life is all about? Forgiveness?...A very thought provoking piece. Well penned!

This is awesome. I can see that this is just a series of thoughts springing from one inspirational revelation...great choice of words and I think the concept is great. Excellent job with this one!
