Mirror of Hope

by

Philip Claude Andermann

When we fall,
it is only into the skies
of deeper realization and love.
But your skin
contains the tallest sky.
Inside, you are a giant.
Never sell yourself short.
You touch the skies
of others.
You turn their stars
into suns.
You mirroring turn the Earth
into a different universe,
one lit
by your last ounce of courage
and hope.
