 Fragmented Face

Every mirror I look into appears shattered;
As I see my fragmented face looking back.
Appearing  like one of Picasso's paintings,
Reality is distorted beyond recognition.

Unable to see that young man of promise;
I now see that old man of broken dreams.
My fragmented face now stares and laughs;
Seeing the shattered shards of what I  once was.

Searching the archives of my memories for the when;
Understanding somewhat now the why,
Seeing in my mirror the fullness of the what.
My fragmented face I now attempt to love.

Looking into my soul for the healing balm;
Unearthing the rotten, the foul, the diseased.
Opening my heart to the Almighty once more;
As He reassembles my fragmented face.
