Reflection
I saw my soul today.
It was 5am and I'd been up all evening but I felt good.
My body felt healthy and nourished after a cool drink of water.
There was joy in my heart thinking of friends and heartwarming topics.
A sweet tune was playing over it all in my mind and it brought a little smile to my lips.
There were dreams and inspiration floating idly around me like coy in a pond.
And there I was.
A few loose curls falling across my shoulders
A comfortable shirt that I loved to wear.
I looked into the mirror for a moment and caught a glimpse of myself.
And I looked back at me...and smiled.
For a moment I saw my soul on the outside and it made me happy to see her
After so long of missing the image of her face.
Her smile made me want to climb mountains and take risks
To push the boundaries of what they call "limitations" and prove them all folly
The opportunities of this life and those beyond all swam in the few seconds of that smile
And I saw it...
With a second look, she was gone, like a shimmer on the surface of a calm pool
For that single moment, that important eternal, far stretching moment
I saw the potential of the human spirit. Of my human spirit.
And she smiled at me.
