What we see now
is but a dim reflection
in the mirror.
A day shall come
for us to see each other
face to face..
to see us clearly.

To lock our eyes,
and arms, and hands
in an embrace..
of our shared struggle.
Of the wounds
that we’ve inflicted
on ourselves..
our growing pains.

There shall be only
one way out of it..
that is to change.
To bless The Other
and in doing so
to finally forgive.
To lay the old self
to the ground..
so that
the stronger one
may finally receive
a chance..
to truly live.
