I have an enormous sea shell collection, I keep it scattered on beaches across the world.


The truth is always found within an eye

A window to a spirit dark or light

The pit within which one can see the soul

In another’s eyes your own truths mirrored

Be those truths a blessing or staining curse

And when an eye is truthful, hearts are pierced

And naught but truth can gush forth from that pierce

To shatter and to reform the mirror

And chase away the darkness with the light

To purify and cleanse a tainted eye

And wash away the stains upon the soul

wiping away the foulest age-old curse

And with the disappearance of the curse

A chance, therefore redeeming a damned soul

Ever again the clouds the sun shall pierce

Silver linings gleam within a dimmed eye

Comes trickling back to’a core suffused with light

Tears reveal a new and watery mirror

Cheer bouncing back the glow from that mirror

Into a million points of dazzling light

And fire passion into others’ eyes

A passion that to every heart will pierce

To negate another’s filthy life curse

And bring happiness again to their soul

To recreate a thousand happy souls

And beam a smile there from every eye

To heat the world, melt it to a mirror

To bounce back, deflect attempted cursings

Never shall the passion mirror be pierced

But shall continue reflecting a light

Continue the light to brighten the soul

And never a curse into life shall pierce

When Focused Mirror beams upon the eye
