THE REFLECTION IS NO LONGER ME

As one looks in the mirror,
I cast my gaze
towards the surface of the water,
looking for the reflection
I long to see.

The reflection I seek
it is no longer me.

I search to seek,
in hopes that I find
the reflection of You
in the waves of my mind.

Your image is the face
that I long to see,
the proof of Your life
dwelling in me.

The light of Your love
breaking through,
showing me
that I belong to You.

As I look deeper,
the ripples move
to reveal
what the eyes just cannot see

the life of You
now dwelling in me.

And search as I might,
it is now hard to find
traces of the me
that I have left behind.

Your work has brought
changes in me,
changes that only You can see.

As I walk in Your way,
I begin to see

the reflection that looks back
is no longer me.
