RE: Reflection

might just be our
soul's fingerprint...
what endears us
to this troubled world.

This verse speaks to me particularly. The idea that at our very core, our most outwardly beautiful characteristic may be what we grow most to hate about ourselves. Lots of people (in my experience) have come to dislike whatever trait they are most often complimented on.

Sometimes, these traits are physical, and it's hard for us to identify, at a soul consciousness, with our physical traits because we usually have nothing to do with them! That
"ravenous connection" could be so simply attained if, as you wrote, we "unabashedly display
that truth".

EXCELLENT POEM, thank you for sharing. @ericvancewalton
