For Michelle
by Bill Hassell
Eyes behold what the heart feels.
Sometimes fantasy sometimes real.
We are our worst critic as we look at the
person in the mirror.
Sometimes it can't be more convoluted and on the same hand clearer.
Humankind is a delicious whirlwind of hopes
and fears.
We are born of light and live within it until
a shadow appears.
We must show our strength.
combat the dark.
until once again the light shines true.
Bask in its glow,revel in its warmth
born from deep within me and you.
If we fail we must not cease.
Life is far too short, remember this please.
So look upon yourself with someone else's
eyes.
I think you'll like what you see and be
happily surprised.
