Reflections of the Inner Light
nothing is as it seems
heart strings are played
as if a toy lute
love sinks deep
into the abyss

before a storm of drifting snows
icy winds through foreign lands
A moments dream is crystallized
locked we are into this time
apart from all, the sentence cast!

This is dedicated to ‘sorealtonight’, ‘Angelofsecrets’,
and all the others who are finding their voice through
this medium; The Hopi prophesied that there would be a
