There's Someone I'd Like you to Meet...

Have you 

Spent any appreciable time

At your mirror

Beyond the perfunctory  

Due diligence 

To ensure 

Ablutions 

are 

Carried out safely?

Look closer

Beyond the familiar

Do you presume

That 

Which you see,

Painted upon 

Your minds eye,

Is all that which 

Seeks your gaze?

Even if 

You are convinced

That all is known

Clear 

Predictable

Adequate

Safe

Can you

Be sure 

You've seen 

You're entirety?

Soften your stare

Look out (and in)

Beyond the edges

What lies in wait

In the misty

Suggestive

As yet unformed

But potent 

&

Powerful potentials

But 

Make no mistake.

This as yet,

Unformed strata,

Of qualities.

Belies, 

The untold story, 

That is you.

First look.

Believe, 

And 

You will, 

Begin to see.
