The View from Here

I feel like I am gazing into a mirror within a mirror,

the images distorted, reality altered,

nothing is as it seems.

I am so sure that what I see is real,

but like a carnival house of mirrors,

reality shifts again and again

and the ground moves beneath my feet.

With chaos swirling I must find the courage to look inside my heart

and trust what I know is true and right,

to see visceral beauty even in a world gone mad.
