In the mirror my image in reflection
Is what I see real or is it illusion and deception
What am I yet blinded to see
That lies in secret depths within me
What word now upon my soul be a darkening veil
When it is resolve and faith I justly hail
Taunts, taunts, no longer to hold domain
Healed be this heart, I longingly proclaim.

Love that line ...
Thank you Margie, She is such a deeply empathetic and caring soul... a blessing to work with her in unmasking all that is illusion. Much love and gratitude on to you. So appreciate your endearing words.
