This Mirror Is Wide Poem by David Lacey

We say that we are free and that never alone we stand
What is this moment we wish for?

The ever present moment of rebirth
Into the next and remembering the past
We laugh and we cry and we ask not why
The sky is never green but here stood on emerald giants nose
We may forget the plastic finger pose
Forget the ribbons and flower shows
And come to live again.

Know yourself your secret game
Know yourself your secret name
Ask yourself of what you know
Ask yourself of where to go
Think of life in circles fast
For all the things will never last

Pyramids to salt
Ghost dust thrones
Megalithic construct
Kingdom of bones

Rise in light and find a new
The person that you thought you knew
The person who would greet you
In every mirrors show

This mirror is wide
This mirror is long
This story is short
And better as song

Sing for the life you wish to know
Sing for the devil who sleeps on your pillow
Sing for the dawn and sing for the dusk
Sing for the love in which you trust
