This poem is from my book, Hidden In The Heart, A Glorious Secret. The book is available on Amazon.
Marvelous creatures, we humans;
And formidable too.
Surface-conscious mostly.
Of our depths – hardly a clue.
If we only knew!
Do we realize that our focus
Forms the boundary of our lives?
That the life we are experiencing
Comes from inner eye and mind?
If we looked, we’d find.
The people in my life
Aren’t all they seem to be,
Mirroring reflections of
Deeper parts of me,
Parts I cannot see.
With each individual
I choose a certain stance,
Sometimes parent, sometimes child,
We dance a different dance.
Is this just happenstance?
Perhaps today a tyrant,
Tomorrow victimized.
Who is this mysterious
Stranger, always in disguise?
Am I these many selves inside?
Are these inherent patterns
From a Cosmic Master Plan,
And if brought to consciousness
Might we understand?
Wouldn’t that be grand?
