WILLIAMSJI MAVELI POEM: BROKEN MIRROR

BROKEN MIRROR
What you see
is not what you get,
This life is a broken mirror,
What you smell delicious
is not what you
Taste better next,
What you feel outside
is not what You
heal inside,
What you hear from far,
is not what the other end meant,
What you love
the most is
not what is glittering star sky above.
In reality, life is a mirage,
just like mist, fume,
Our bodies will do that too.
But the inner nature,
the one we cannot see,
is being renewed.
Another contrast is the
affliction
we endured.
The sufferings we all experienced
until the last call
a slight momentary affliction.
Again, we may encounter another affliction,
Another hardship,
but the eternal importance of glory,
a fulfilled new creation,
we are unable to witness
What you see is confusion
and brokenness
and suffering
and pressures.
But what you get is an
eternal weight of divine glory,
The one you cannot see now and then,
The unseen is eternal.
Hope that is seen is not hope,
for who hopes in
what do we all see?
But if we hope in what we do not see,
we wait for it with patience.
And that’s our call today.
There is eternal glory ahead.
Let us look to that unseen,
untouched,
unfeeling.
Be a mirage
And vanish either soon or later.…
