THE PERFECT MIRROR

YOU SEE ME PERFECTLY.
NOT THAT I AM PERFECT,
BUT YOU SEE THE SPIRIT 
AND SOUL IN ME

ALL OF MY ACTIONS IN LIFE,
AND CHANGING FORMS OF GROWTH,
ARE DISPLAYED ON YOUR MIRRORED FACE
WITH PERFECT IMAGERY 
FOR ALL TO SEE, THAT WHICH WAS BIRTH IN ME

YOU ARE THE ETERNAL TIME KEEPER 
THAT FOLLOWS ME, FROM INFANCY 
NEVER ALLOWING A SECOND OF MY LIFE
TO REMAIN IN OBSCURITY 

WEATHER I’M AWAKE IN THIS PRESENT LIFE,
OR IS LAID IN THE BELLY OF THE EARTH 
OUTSIDE THE KEEN EYES OF TIME,
YOUR GAZE ARE ALWAYS ON ME

I CAN ELUDE THE TRACKING OF A MAN 
BY MASKING THE DESIRES OF MY HEART. 
BUT YOU! THE ETERNAL MIRROR 
CAPTURES MY INTENTIONS 
AND REFLECTS MY MOTIVES 
FROM THE VERY START.

WILFORD BARKER.
