nature’s mirror

















i am not pretty 

i have always known it,

but when i stand surrounded 

by warm sunlight 

by drifting fireflies 

then evening’s moonlight 

beneath the array of starlight,

there is so much more here

against my skin

a light from within 

weighted and meaningful


I feel magnificent,

and a crucial part of it…

of this bless-ed creation  

my Father 

deemed good 


and my heart?

my soul?

well now, they 

feel made of the purest gold 


I care nothing for looking beautiful then,

Because I am brimming with gratitude 

and overflowing with love
