An anonymous figure facing an oval mirror that reflects still water and sky instead of a face.

I have no face of my own only the reflection of all that is of all that you are

I am empty until I wear the world until I wear you

Look at me and you see yourself a face I borrowed from life a form given by your gaze

I am the mirror faceless until you call me forth

And when I wear you I feel it all your joy, your sorrow your love, your shame

The stars do not need clothes nor the mountains nor the rivers

I am naked in the universe not because I lack but because I am free

In each moment I am the universe breathing through you

Take a moment before choosing what comes next.
