Philosophical

mugwort speaks - 
"is the inner reflection 
an extroverted abstraction 
as a soul gently speaks 
of myth and legends 
and high mountain peaks. 
could the outer reflection be 
an introverted refraction, 
a shell bound by fire 
this ageless volcano 
an inner creation 
of internalised faults 
which birth embryonic 
waves of acidic crystals. 
shall it be a prism 
of a kaleidoscopic hue, 
an invention inverted 
above as in below. 
may the seer speak false news 
that the blind faithfully see, 
whilst the innocent plead guilty, 
as the guilty go free?" 
wormwood replies, "should the seeker stop searching?"

As above - so below
