your stained glass looking glass

through your stained glass looking glass
i see myself fragmented into a thousand colors i never knew
i see myself a mother; strong and tender, fiercely protective
i am insightful and care deeply for others
i am not selfish or weak

through your stained glass looking glass
i can run like the wind across entire continents,
cross oceans in an afternoon swim
or soar through the skies,a magical falcon
traveling at the speed of light and imagination

through your stained glass looking glass
i know no limits, hold no fears...except my fear for others and their happiness

through your stained glass looking glass
i see you.
i see you reflected in a thousand shades never seen with the naked eye
i see your blues: saphires cold, dark, alone
your rubies: brilliant fires of passion hidden from view
i see your emeralds: rich with growth and wisdom not yet released

through your stained glass looking glass
i see your fears, hopes and dreams
i see your hidden strength and wisdom
and yes, through your stained glass looking glass
i even see your flaws, for they make you beautiful

through your stained glass looking glass
i see you and i together, joined by the fragmented colors
i see our love reflected in the gems of light
dancing on every surface surrounding us in a rainbow
declaring us mother and daughter, daydreaming children, friends and sisters

we do not diminish, but multiply in a thousand stars of light
through your stained glass looking glass
