Mirror Mirror

When I look in the mirror, just what do I see?
Who's behind those eyes, staring back at me?
Am I to believe that the body is who I truly be?
Or is it simply the tool that allows me to see,
And experience all of life in the world I've created,
To enjoy the fulfillment of living with consciousness elevated?
Men have tried to find God, some throughout all their years,
This search for God sometimes ending with the shedding of tears.
Sometimes ending in MURDER, because you refuse to believe,
That the God of someone else's desire, is not yours to receive.
I've remembered, as all must someday do, so now I can see,
That God is really behind those eyes, in the mirror looking back at me.
I thought I already knew who and what God was all about,
I held on to those beliefs until I started to have doubts.
Searching all possibilities, the truth would be found,
Not only searching my beliefs, but also all those around.
Always looking outside myself, never considering looking within,
I now realize that I had bought into this foolish belief in sin.
No more illusions,let me see this straight through.
God is me, I am of God-- I know this is true.
Now you go look in the mirror, that's what you should do,
Can you see those eyes and God, staring back at you??
