To Mirror SELF

 

the writer takes to pen

the artist takes to brush

the sculptor takes to hand

all in reflection

expressions created to mirror SELF

the dancer takes to form

the musician takes to sound

the teacher takes to concept

all in reflection

expressions created to mirror SELF

the lawyer takes to righteousness

the entrepreneur takes to profit

the politician takes to opportunity

all in reflection

expressions created to mirror SELF

the dreamer takes to vision

the believer takes to faith

the seeker takes to truth

all in reflection

expressions created to mirror SELF.
