Mirror to Mirror

My impression is that everyone, at one time or another, contemplates an existence that is void of all the obstacles one has to deal with in maintaining the state of being. (Image by lamy)

Poem Artwork

 

Mirror to Mirror

 

Face to face

Mirror to mirror

What do you see

 

To stand at the edges

Eternity seems so accessible

Such emptiness forever

Without ever catching a glimpse of me

 

To place a candle between you both

What flame is the true flame

Which is the pretense

 

You keep company with one another

Like the massive Black Holes

You entertain yourselves

Warping the fabric of spacetime

Enjoying the three spatial dimensions and time

Combined in your four-dimensional continuum

 

How it must feel

To cast not an image between you

Merely satisfied with admiring emptiness

Reflecting reflection

 

To know of your nirvana

To be able to climb into your place of nothingness

Non-possession

Non-attachment

Non-wanting

Arrive at the total demise of death and decay

 

Is it possible to steal a quick glance?

Definitely a question worth pondering, as you have done expertly in this point. Quite an inventive idea worth exploring.
