Shaman in the Mirror

Looking at the Shaman
In the Mirror
Discovered Her
Him, It
A long time ago
The Mirror becomes Water
Its ripples
Dance in my Vision
Blurry and Well-like
Fascinated Am I
As I look into the Eyes
The Multi-lived Eyes
That gaze upon
me
The Me becomes meaningless
Dissolving all I-ness
Floating in
The Reflection of the Shaman
Wisdom anchoring
In these Profound Waters
The Eyes speaking
A thousand million Words
In one long deep Look
Flickering and Shimmering
They tell of aeons of Experience
And an Honour rises to the Surface
Shiny it is
Beyond Words
Beyond Sensations
Knowing
Knowing
Knowing
She, the Shaman, Smiles
In
Reflected Mirrored Marvel
