There's Someone I'd Like you to Meet...



Have you 
Spent any appreciable time
At your mirror
Beyond the perfunctory  
Due diligence 
To ensure 
Ablutions 
are 
Carried out safely?

Look closer
Beyond the familiar
Do you presume
That 
Which you see,
Painted upon 
Your minds eye,
Is all that which 
Seeks your gaze?

Even if 
You are convinced
That all is known
Clear 
Predictable
Adequate
Safe
Can you
Be sure 
You've seen 
You're entirety?

Soften your stare
Look out (and in)
Beyond the edges
What lies in wait
In the misty
Suggestive
As yet unformed
But potent 
&
Powerful potentials

But 
Make no mistake.
This as yet,
Unformed strata,
Of qualities.
Belies, 
The untold story, 
That is you.
First look.
Believe, 
And 
You will, 
Begin to see.
