Reflections Fade, Essence Remains...

You are beyond the body, you are something greater, the mirror gleams with polished face reflecting forms both young and old
You are beyond the body, you are something greater, the silent judge is a story carved yet left untold we even chase the whispers of the past that fleeting shadow fading too fast
You are beyond the body, you are something greater, we trace each line as we seek the signs those thousand voices shaped our view like a pressing tide
You are beyond the body, you are something greater, even telling what worth should mean, what shape, what look, what form to bide.

We are not their judgement you are something endless, we mold ourselves to match the mold or to fit a cast not truly ours
We are not their judgement you are something endless, but beauty bends and breaks apart when weighted beneath such heavy powers
We are not their judgement you are something endless, if hands can build and minds can shape and if hearts can love and soul can dream
We are not their judgement you are something endless, what kindness gives is what wisdom sows, what courage dares is what truth defends…

Not what is seen but what is forged in struggle behind an empty show nor fleeting spark, not how you stand but how you rise, not how you look but what you do
Not what is seen but what is forged in struggle behind an empty show nor fleeting spark, not what they see but what you shape the battles fought and carried through
Not what is seen but what is forged in struggle behind an empty show nor fleeting spark, a well-lived life is like a beat root, a will that bends yet never sways
Not what is seen but what is forged in struggle behind an empty show nor fleeting spark, the world may twist, may bid you to chase a hollow prize yet strength is known in what you build…

You are not your reflection and you are not the choices you make, beyond the skin and beyond the gaze lies something more, a force unseen and that soul that grows in countless ways
You are not your reflection and you are not the choices you make, your hands create and your words inspire and your heart can open doors wide
You are not your reflection and you are not the choices you make, you are more than what they see of you, you are the depth, the soul and the light that matters
You are not your reflection and you are not the choices you make, embrace the path of kindness and let wisdom guide through the beauty born of love and the strength will shine in your words and deeds…

Watchwords:
Not just an empty show nor hollow praise
Love that time cannot negate the what is true
You are the light that sines through all you do
Not panted lips nor golden chains but deeds that glow with worth anew

Here is Tikatarot, who dares you to answer the question, “Who am I?”..

As and will always be reminding you to dream:
“As you are still the Master of your destiny and the maker of your dreams…”
