We can take for granted our reflection, but pause look at it, look into it.


Poem Artwork

I peer into a mirror

who do I see

the image of someone

who looks just like me.

Yet as I look

I see beyond his eyes

another person

that has slipped me by,

the child in me

that I once used to be

adorned with freckles

from ear to ear.

Yet the face of my reflection

all freckles now gone

has aged like Whiskey

grown older more strong,

can smile at that child

even though sad

it might be

that mirror has put a smile on me.
