Love Poem: Reflections

Reflections


Oh God,
You have created me
In your image and likeness—
The mirror of your love.
What do you see
When you gaze upon me?
Your image and likeness?
Or just a hazy semblance
Dulled by the sticky film that forms
On a mirror left unattended?
Your image is surely there, Lord.
Teach me, I pray,
To faithfully cleanse away that film
Which obscures the clarity of you—
Those everyday pollutants 
That distort your reflection—
So that, what you are
And what you see in me,
Are clearly one.
