Smoke and Mirrors

There is something coming.
There is always
something coming.
But I am light
And you are light
And what’s coming
is light
You cannot be afraid
of light and live.
This is the test of all time
the one every hero
every sage
every god
has faced
and come through.
We are not meant
for what we think.
What we think is shrouded
in fear
the darkness in front
of the mirror
the smoke
And we can’t see
our reflection
because of it.
Is your life
the smoke
or the mirror.
