🪞 Turn to the Mirror

If You Can’t See What’s Going On, I Can’t See It for You

Sol Luckman

If you can’t see
What’s going on
I can’t see it for you

If you can see
What’s going on
Know that I adore you

How many times
Must things happen this way
How many circles
Have to be traced away
Before you turn to the mirror
Face yourself and say

If you can’t see
What’s going on
I can’t see it for you

If you can see
What’s going on
Know that I adore you

How many times
Must people lie this way
How many times
Must people die this way
Before you turn to the mirror
Face yourself and say

If you can’t see
What’s going on
I can’t see it for you

If you can see
What’s going on
Know that I adore you

How many times
Must hope be blown away
How many times
Must truth give way to play
Before you turn to the mirror
Face your shadow and say

If you can’t see
What’s going on
I can’t see it for you

If you can see
What’s going on
Know that I adore you

How many times
Must songs be sung this way
How many times
Must truth be told this way
Before you turn to the mirror
Sing to yourself and say

If you can’t see
What’s going on
I can’t see it for you

If you can see
What’s going on
Know that I adore you

If you still can’t see
What’s going on
Wake up, I implore you

ABOUT SOL LUCKMAN …

Sol Luckman is a pioneering ink and acrylic painter whose work has been featured on mainstream book covers, the fast-paced trading game BAZAAR, and at least one tattoo on a female leg last sighted in Australia. Sol is also an acclaimed author of fiction, nonfiction, and humor.

His nonfiction books include the newly released manifestation guide PLAYING IN THE MAGIC; the international bestselling classic CONSCIOUS HEALING, which you can read free online; and its popular sequel, POTENTIATE YOUR DNA, available in English, Spanish and (soon) French.

Sol’s visionary novel SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, the coming-of-age tale of one extraordinary boy’s awakening to the world-changing reality of his dreams, won the 2015 National Indie Excellence Award for New Age Fiction. Written with young adult and young-at-heart readers in mind, SNOOZE further proved its literary merit by being selected as a 2016 Readers’ Favorite International Book Award Finalist in the Young Adult-Coming of Age category and receiving an Honorable Mention in the 2014 Beach Book Festival Prize competition in the General Fiction category.

Building on this deep dive into lucid dreaming, parallel universes and Hindu mysticism, Sol’s new novel, CALI THE DESTROYER—a page-turner of a sci-fi tale set in an Orwellian future seeded in the dystopian present that radically rewrites Gnosticism as well as the origins of the earth and humanity—was selected as Winner of the 2022 NYC Big Book Award and 2022 National Indie Excellence Award for Visionary Fiction, Silver Medalist for Visionary Fiction in the 2022 Readers’ Favorite International Book Award Contest, Finalist in both the New Age and Visionary Fiction categories of the 2021 International Book Awards, Finalist in both the Paranormal/Supernatural and Fantasy categories of the 2022 IAN Book of the Year Awards, and Distinguished Favorite for Audio Fiction in the 2022 NYC Big Book Awards.

Sol’s popular book of humor and satire, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY: A SPIRITED GLOSSARY FOR THE LITTLE DEVIL IN YOU, received the 2017 National Indie Excellence Award for Humor and was selected as a Finalist in the Humor category of both the 2018 International Book Awards and the 2018 Best Book Awards.
