The soul alone reflects the sky
But love begins when two reply
No self can see its full degree
Until it meets the word called “we ”
Through others truth is magnified
Our faults our grace our inward tide
The mirror shared reveals anew
The tender self the deeper view
We fear the gaze yet crave its hold
Through it the heart learns to unfold
For only when we’re truly seen
Do we recall what we have been
Cherish those who dare to see
The shadow side of you and me
In every wound in empathy
The mirror shines —eternally
