Oh, dark mirror shadow night
Take me to the reflection of shining light
Not to leave me falling from a greater height
And lift me with your up beating spirit
Tell me when life is coming to a penalty
For not too late to receive
To lead me with my own self-conscious right
Do not crucify me to death
For my wrongdoing is a learning experience
With shed of tears and guilt of regret
Allow my remorse to set free
Forgive me for pardon’s sake
I promise that I must never
walk through the same path

There are sounds we never hear
Like spiders walking across a mirror
Or ants moving tons of sand
And bees that on flowers land
A million sounds that are so near
Yet never reach the human ear!

Like a phoenix
whirling on the face
of the sun,
I burn and flicker
in varied waves.

With a final ignition
the respiriting begins,
I well out sparks
and in the embers
a wondrous explosion,
love, takes my breath
and me away
 
I walk on pieces
of jiggered heart
they no longer matter not,
trickling through fingers
having long forgone hope,
shudders of a half life
