Ring on a Mirror - Aug. 11, 2025

I think many begin seeking fulfillment

outside, before turning inward to look

my journey went the other way, starting

off spirit-bound and finishing earth-bound

perhaps it’s all the same and doesn’t matter

how inner and outer got engaged

because those marriages are always a small

affair with no big church weddings

just you laying a ring on a two-way mirror

and saying “till death do us part”
