~~Reflections Of The Soul~~

Sitting on the waters edge
I look down to see
In the calm clear water
My reflection staring back at me

I close my eyes and hold them tight
Hoping the image would disappear
For seeing ones true self
Is more then I can bare

I see imperfection
In everything before me
I see the reflection
Of the person I think is me

Staring at my reflection
Caught up in what’s wrong not right
All the sudden I see an image
Of an eagle taking flight

I look back at my reflection
And see the smile upon my face
A beam of light all around me
In the suns tender embrace

My eyes are now open
And I see what’s with in
The reflection of what I’ve dreamed of being
Was always who I have been
