Soul Face (zielgezicht)

Doleful and tired of the run
he looks anew in the mirror glass
and sees the visage that hides 

-his soul face-
one of God's children, descendant of prophets

The mirror glass reflects a front
divergent from the closed face people see
it displays the sacred spirit 

-that is within- 
awaiting the moment to unlock his self

While the light glows softly 
from the inside not for others to see
inviolable it holds the fort 

-the force hidden-
but ever present, silently looking at him

It is precious to have this counter ego
a second him in him
pure yet alien, now he is 

-no longer disordered-
an awareness that he can not or will not hide from

It is comforting and yet
a dreadful source of power
dormant, present and being there 

-for a future-  
self-assured guiding him to that hour

The more it reveals
from where time is not, the more he learns
an instant closer to his redeemer
-a state of mind-

as a permanent present he yearns for
