Reflection Poem by Rasheed Sandeelvi

​Reflections
​I believe in every word spoken to me as if it were the absolute truth though I know that not every voice carries the weight of authenticity
The soul is a mirror reflecting the shadows and light of its surroundings for no heart is born stained with evil or carved in pure holiness
Our eyes are often deceived by the reaching shadows of greatness for the stature of a man is never as towering as the illusion he casts upon the world
