In the mirror of life the ripples of time project anew
while each moment of light simply reflects back to you
every changing nuance captured from a distance
is focused to the point of radius, it's your accrue
Incurved leaning towards your personal perception
the mirror of life delivers the path to your personal truth
Whether accurate or not you shape your reflection
according to what you see and what you deduce;
Intuit thoughts arise and suddenly the mirror cracks
with arms wide open, "come to accept yourself"
In a world of monumental perfect, flaws are beautiful too
the mirror of life is kind to you, when you decide to look
deeper than the surface, wider than the sea
in the end the mirror says, " it's always been you and me "

Yes and the eyes in those mirrors are definitely the windows to the soul in that reflection. And it blows me away how incredibly beautiful all of us as children of the King ~ Great write Vienna
A SO IMPORTANT OCCURRENCE....THAT LOOK IN THE MIRROR. THAT 'REAL' LOOK AT OUR LIVES AND WHO WE REALLY ARE! IT'S WONDERFUL WHEN WE 'FIND THE ONE' WHO AWAITS US THERE AND REALIZE...'HE' HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE. A TERRIFIC WORK, ENJOYED. THANKS, MYSTIC. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
I love your thinking Vienna!
Yes when we finally reach that happy place of acceptance…
Life truly becomes beautiful in every sense of the word…
A truly unique piece of writing…
A different take than, "Mirror, mirror on the wall…" Perhaps our perception shifts from what we see reflected back to what we deduce from all the scars that our body receives through age and experience. A thoughtful take on an off repeated thought for those that work in the mirror every day for thoughtful reflection.
When two men hit the reset button and decide to go out looking for the good in the world, they not only find it but also a lot more.
P.S. The title is listed on Amazon under Look for Something Good by Robert Drews (not by Robert H. Drews)
