The mirror lies
Reflections tell tales
Truth
But she won’t accept
The lines of her life
The cosmetic cover up
Hiding the scars
Of years gone by
Brushed on perfection
Cut with a knife
Lines and imperfections
Smoothed over
Chemical peels
Strip her past
Beauty is only skin deep
Adorning the colors
Made up for the day
Ready to take on the world
Wrinkled
The lines are too steep
Hands grip the mirrored frame
She’s afraid to break the hold
Worry and fret
Become her regret
Alas, she is just growing old

As the delicate wind
Carries her tender limbs
And the cold Spring air
Rustles her glorious hair
The Willow shall not Weep
For she is elegant strings flowing
Ever alluring, ever growing
With her graceful bows a fine art
She bestows beauty upon my heart

She lies in the silence
Of an underground world
Skillfully Weaving, Sowing
Reaching up with quiet grace
She lifts the trodden earth
Nourishing Ground, Growing
With the touch of her hand
She’s the essence of life
Eternally Nurturing, Knowing
With beauty she feeds us
From roots underneath us
Mother Earth, Loving, Bestowing
