My Spirit, Said to the Mirror…

By Larry Peters

Poetry gives us the opportunity to daydream, to float away. My Spirit Said to the Mirror, we have great and precious promise. We are so much more than meets the eye. We are brilliant, bold and blessed. We are spirits filled with love. We are not born to sit on the sidelines. We are born to shine brightly and illuminate the path so others may come and light their torches. In the midst of the worlds way we fall prey to our own selfi sh wants and desires which will surely fade away. We ponder these matters and we question the Divine Plan. The poetry written here came to me as I pondered and may it comfort you as you ponder.

Dedication

TO MY SWEETHEART JOYCE CELE

Beautiful words stir my heart.

I will recite a poem about the King

for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.

When we awaken to the true

nature and identity of our creator,

we come to know ourselves,

understand our position and

Who are we to refuse to be blessed, turn off our
