In the radiance of green
Hides the hint of the gold
What is young right now
Hides the hint of the old
In the clear blue skies
Floats one gentle cloud
Against the brilliant laughing blues
The tears wear a shroud
In the still waters of time
Flow the rivers of age
In the mirror’s reflection
Hides the perfect sage
In the thunder of silence
Are the answers to my why
We gaze intently at each other
My mirror and I
