Such a glorious deception
The heavens stare down
at their reflection
While little do they know or see
The life so far below that be
Beneath the glossy image lies
a world which seldom meets the eyes
Is heaven fooled by this brilliantly designed
serenity mask?
Or does it see through to to the creatures not tarrying
at their task?
These questions I simply must ask…
As schools of thought swim through my mind
I forget all
they leave behind
Reflections in these two blue eyes–behold–whispers of mystical stories untold
Meanwhile my face maintains its pose
of peace and beauty, I suppose
Such a glorious conception
The heavens smile down
upon this resurrection
