A Mystery of Mysteries

From my Raven Collection

A Mystery of Mysteries

A mystery of mysteries 
this old life given to me 
why do I fight the foe?
within these veins that be?
 
once upon a time 
I was a glass of champagne 
now I see my reflection 
and all I see are stains? 
 
a mystery of mysteries 
this old life given to me 
what's it all about?
I hear my lonely soul cry and plea
 
broken by the ocean?
or the falling branch of a tree?
pushed over by the wind?
or drowning in the sea?
 
if we are all just a ship
passing through the night
then why do some get to sail
landing on shore in new light?
others get to sink
never knowing sunshine bright? 
 
the soul is a power?
a uniqueness that every human owns? 
so maybe just maybe 
sometimes our souls can be our foe?

Some excellent lines in this Shirley. A poem of reflection... regret maybe and of everything broken that makes us so human. 

' once upon a time
 I was a glass of champagne
 now I see my reflection
 and all I see are stains?'

Thank you dearest Marion, we wouldn't have souls if we didn't reflect, ps I still see the champagne in me, I just love to use my muse and my mind to see how far it can go ❤️ 🌹
