Creator created

I always felt

Like I was searching for a space

Within which to be rewarded

For nothing really

Aside from a selfishness of self

Perhaps

But now

Having seen myself a mirror

And more fully looked

Upon my own most honest

Face of reason

And future hope combined

I see at last

Not that nothing is free

But that a calling will cost you

Far more than any ordinary life

Would ever buy for you

With time
