Poems
by Joy Renee

Soul Mirror

You�re looking in at me, I�m looking out at you,
Watching you watching me watch you.
Reflections of what we want to see,
Drawn on glass with morning dew.
Castles in air you built for me,
Of summer heat and winter wind,
Wisps of mist and shreds of fog,
Mirroring your inmost soul to me.
With words of love and hope and inspiration,
You speak to me of aspirations
Greater far than mortal creatures
Dare to attempt or care to imagine.
But looking to you for intimacy,
I find you looking out to sea,
Whispering those words of self-creation:
�Let me be. Just let me be.�
But you demand of self the cosmos,
Closing your ears to words of �Almost,�
And with the thought of �Let it be.�
All you wish you get to see.

� 1986,1998 & 2004 by Joy Renee Davis
