I stare into the mirror
and see the cares of a thousand years in my bloodshot eyes
I have pondered the questions
and asked others for answers, but found only one
it was from a man that made me remember what the angel told me
before I was born: a piece of the truth I would find in this life
I don't know how it will affect my actions tomorrow morning
but I know that now, it is pushing me farther into the depths of my mind
than I have ever gone before
It's a reaffirmation
of the value and truth of what I conceived earlier
And thus I know more solidly than all else
that it does indeed have merit
and the potential to be realized
I know that this has changed my life
what I don't know is exactly how much--
is it merely a change in thought, in attitude?
or will it cause me to modify my actions as well?
Just how converted have I been tonight?
Only the light of a thousand mornings will reveal the answer.
