Shining Through

Posted on by Reena Saxena

minds are a source of light

life, a multi-coloured dome or prism

reflections define your identity.

it is what you choose to emit and absorb,

and how you process the flow.

 

does that vision reflect the deepest you

or what you can’t face about yourself?

your replicas give you pleasure

all those who echo your thoughts

willingly merge into your shadows,

do not question your values.

 

they lend much-needed security

their darkness give you an identity

their emptiness justify your outlines

 

face yourself in the Sun

recognize what looks bright

shines without borrowed light.

 

the mind becomes an originator

worlds will follow you anyway ….

who needs shadows or reflections?

  1. A very thoughtful write.
    I especially liked these words:
    “it is what you choose to emit and absorb,
    and how you process the flow.”
    I think most especially, how you process the flow, is important for all….perhaps this is called “attitude?”

  2. Thought-provoking. I enjoyed this very much. We really can ignore our own light, getting caught up in reflections. Facing yourself in the sun….that is beautiful.
