Mirror

MIRROR


Standing tall and mighty
Sending messages down to me gently
I see myself in you
The times I have cleared my throat with whispers
You replicate the images
Reiterating all in sequence
As if I sit and stare at the theatrical movie screen
It may even be the best of selection
I merely suspect
Would not expect anything less
I too,
Remember the countless times I have cried myself to sleep
I too,
Recall the days I thought what it would be like
If tomorrow never arrived
I now glance over my shoulder
Time to time, every so often floating with fear
I too, wish to let go as much as you do
Needless to say my purification process
Triumphed right here and now,
In front of you my mirror
The avenues of my soul
I ride them with a windswept fierceness
In deed I comprehend where they lead
Me + Myself + I
The sign reads.
Home I arrived - the lock opens with ease
I spend what seem a lifetime to me now
Fetching, glazing onto the place on the wall
You had left a dusty imprint
Mirror or hell
I have shed a heavy layer
Feeling of original, I so craved
Like a snake I leave piece of its skin
Colorful yet old and dry
My soul has rejoiced
Take my walk on the moon
Feeling & seeing heights unheard of
While you held your presence
I have self to plea with gratitude
I smile
Me & Myself & I
The sign read.
