reverb13: day 20
forward is the only direction
::
This post is part of Reverb 13:
I was so honored to be asked by the lovely Kat MacNally
to contribute a prompt to this year’s reverb13!
Day 20: The mirror never lies, but everything in it is backwards.
Look at what you see in the mirror. How does it change if you view yourself
with eyes that can only look forward?

a string of tomorrows
beaded with promise
wisdom and experience,
drawn with patience and empathy
old scars that have healed,
new ones to form
sunrise, sunset
a heart refusing to grow bitter
a mind refusing to be defined
a soul, still learning
a hand etched with time
silence
beneath forever’s
painted sky

If, when you began, you did not read this poem aloud, begin again, and then, begin again. It grows with your voice.

“A heart refusing to grow bitter”
Another wonderful line!
