Reflections Looking Out At Metallica Poem by James McLain

Cut off from the mirror you seek...
..swept inside out of one single tear...
..and warm it is lost upon your cheek....
..and lost in the moon yours so full...
........No peace it is there, 'at rest..
........on the rocks...I am there..
.......as smoke..The lash and one pair..
..of brown eyes...that I see..it is there...
.and the strong smell of the shadow...
.....That living beast inside you that dwells...
....once caught between the middle....
.....inside...you here..there I stand...
.....where up to you, ' I'm free where.
and would thus remain.....
....injured love roams the land.....
........
...............
..Your reflection changes it changes my mood...
.....as long as my shadow...breeds my hope...
...and here...from the bottom of that your well......
........I stand with my head looking up.....
...........and still here I am, inside you I dwell.......
.........
.....Inside you i swell..trees burning on fire...
..........and burning the hand...thine burning bush
..................turning each stone in the river
............you find...thou are you and follow..
.......and speaking in tongues.. came upon....
.............whereon thereupon me, 'you carve your name.......
..........Upon the soft skin...
...............of the hard wood floor...
....... made of oak...
.........and there over time... I unwind....
.........and herein this place..lost and found...
..........
.......................
....Your reflection, my world has caught you...
.......that sure picture that place of your face...
..........and the one before you..I see...
....You thus why knowing...i am here.......
........and it is why, i have come...
.................and on your reflection..
...........you, 'Looking out of the mirror at my face...
is why i came......at all.........
