Mirror - Mirror

Mirror - Mirror what do you see
Other than a reflection of me
Do you see all of my sorrows
Or the future of all my tomorrows

The sadness that lurks behind the eyes
The happenings that have made me wise
Lost loves that pains to remember
Or new loves lighting my eyes with ember

Wishful thinking of a permanent love
With hopes of help from above
Lines worn deep from age
Each one telling its tale of sage

Do you see the ravages of starkness
Caused by exposure to others darkness
Hoping for more light to shine through
And that special love meant for two

Thank you Martina. I am honored that you read it and liked it. I've often wondered what the poor mirror thinks! laugh Sometimes I have too fanciful thoughts - from reading too many fairy tales when I was a little girl - I guess! innocent

Thank you for your kind words.

Thanks for posting this fine piece of retrospection and prospection
viewed in your magical mirror.

Hoping for more light to shine through
And that special love meant for two

Hope you find that special love.

When I read your poem, the words of this song by Mary Hopkin came back to me:

"Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la..."

Kathy...How beautiful.

I don't think I was even on CS when you wrote this...so glad that someone brought it back.

Funny ( really not so)...how the mirror can pose as our friend of our enemy.

Thank you so much Happy Go Lucky. I love pictures and a lot of times they inspire me. This time, however, I wrote the poem first (after seeing my aging face in the mirror and feeling young inside) and then looked for a picture to match on the Internet and voila!

I love this poem... is our live in the mirror world better than this one, or a dark reflection of it?....the concept of an 'opposite' fascinates me ever since i saw an episode of ST with the same title as your beautiful poem

A marvelous piece worthy of reflection.

Hi Ronnie: I was thinking that at my age feeling like a young girl inside and looking in the mirror - seeing an older grey woman in the mirror and turning away from the reflection. Feeling 21 inside and being in your 60's is distressing!laugh However, yes, each of us, I believe, have 2 sides to us - some more pronounced then others. One person can be as sweet as can be most of the time - but when their bad side comes out - watch out! Also, vice versa - someone who can be grumpy and mean all the time - if they see an animal or a child - a gentle side may come out. Go figure! teddybear
