Non Nobis Tantum Nati

Reflections

Its funny how perfectly we can see in water

reflections of everything from pleasure to torture

you can see the clouds and the sky passing over

and while we can still loathe her

and all that she sees as simple truth

and when the clouds are the worlds roof

and they open to fire down liquid tooth

causing the reflections to expand and ripple

with all that can be seen becoming fickle

as the image becomes more distorted

and then raises a question that cannot avoided

what is a more accurate reflection

is it something that you would want to mention

the perfect and clear

or the disturbed and full of fear

is life the perfect image that we see in the calm days

or the chaotic mess that we we see when there are no suns ray

well maybe we can say its a mix of order and chaos

for the most beautiful image often contains some loss
