The Man in the Mirror

It happens many a times when you are you are filled yet longing for ideas, when you are quiet yet longing for peace, when you are silent yet turbulent, when you aware yet ignorant. It's the time when you are struggling with the contrasting facets of yourself. It's when your heart and brain run asunder. It's when you learn what the heart conceals what thoughts reveal and what you would like to appeal. And all this when you have been through an ordeal. It's when you want this deluge to abate, that you ruminate. When you are at your least, that you agnise what you had, how valuable it was but more than the sense of decline, deprivation and diminution it's the provides a sense of direction for where to retrace, how to efface and what to embrace.

It's when you fall behind others, fall through your ambitions that you fall for consolation, there is an angel who can en-kindle, exalt and enliven you. This fellow knows all about you, has assured to accompany you for life. He can give to the tenacity to sustain and cast off your fears. He can hold your hand when in trouble, and is never busy to help you. He is the noble, the altruist, the magnanimous. He can fill all voids, diminish all desolation. He has persistently been with you, adamant when you try to avoid, obstinate when you try to overlook, willful when you wink at it and resolute when you reject it. He is an ally in every battle, a buddy in every jubilation, a well wisher in every endeavor, your counselor and your advocate.
For all those who want to meet this angel, that's all I have got to say

"When you feel that hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
You'll finally see the truth
that the angel lies in you
So when you are heavyhearted
all your hopes have departed
When all you long is cheer
he's the man you see in the mirror"
