Reflected From Within Us Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The light of life,
Reflected from within us...
To animate that which we see,
Does not glow to show brightly...
As it is believed done independently.
To leave any us to perceive,
We are individually detached from it.

The light of life reflected from within us,
Is a blessing bestowed...
By a higher and magnificent,
Tremendous deity.
Giving us eyesight and an ability to breathe.
And taken for granted,
The doing is automatically.

The feeding from 'IT',
Is provided until 'IT' decides...
How bright a life glows,
And when the dimming begins to show...
Be it day or night to be removed from sight.
With a leaving those self-righteous,
To accept or disbelieve to discreetly deceive...
That a life they've been given blessed to receive,
Can be manipulated to flatter unseen 'deities'.
To have it 'then' depicted to have others believe,
A light within them that glows to show...
Is a better and brighter light to shine,
Than others bestowed.

With a giving them the right,
To interpret what's not there to read...
Between the lines throughout their days,
And their blessed nights...
When all lines,
Anyone wishes to misinterpret with them to find...
Can be remove from minds at anytime to go.
