True Light of the Soul

Awakenings, Poetic Healing

Face in the Water

The face smiles back
And I wonder, Is that mine?
The face with the lines of worry
The distance behind the eyes
Circles of tiredness and too much to do

And the face just smiles
A simple gesture
With soul in the eyes
And love in all the lines
The face knows

It spent its whole existence
Overseeing the life around it
Its lines, spots, and circles earned
Its worried, soulful eyes open
Taking in all the joy and pain
The world has to offer

And the face keeps smiling
Even beneath the worry and the tired
Behind the anger, the love shows through
The true nature, true beauty
True light of the soul
