Mirror of Hope 1/2015

by
Philip Claude Andermann

When we fall,
it is only into the skies

of deeper wisdom and compassion.

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.
