Facing My Confessor

ah, the mirror
the face staring back in the morning
no bamboozling of your age
just look
shift your eyes away quickly

eh, one more day
on the surface of this planet
facing my confessor
staring back at me

Mirror on the wall can make
one short or tall, but a hand
held mirror speaks for the heart

Before there was a mirror, we saw our face every time we bent down to drink from a still pool of water. But now we have the power of the photograph to make sure that and watch ourselves age before the pixels have faded to dust.

In your case, it's double edged, because you are seeing yourself as you once were, and you don't like it, and no amount of poetry can change that. Michael Jackson got it right–but it didn't save him.

Oh yes the man in the mirror, it does not lie, only we do...I look in my mirror and see the young girl I used to be, because in my heart i am that girl...Lovely poetry my dear...

Much peace, love and light,

Having just finished a piece of similar ironic focus, I found this not only interesting as a short and compact exercise in writing, but a poignant piece for any in denial, which pretty much includes all of us.

Ah yes the dreaded mirror! I've seen myself in it
Rather a scary sight I am in the morning
But, I always smile and say nice try old time
another wrinkle seen another smile line born
that old Halloween face! :)

There will be many more for you as there is
for me Jerry

Our age is a number our heart is young

Love it

Love and Light

A confessor you even do not have to confess to, he just knows.
I hope he will stare at you for many more days to come Jerry, it's a soothing thought he is there every day

this one moment is all we know for sure, as we ourselves are who we must be true to, you have written of this well again my friend
