Broken Mirror

With a sudden gush of air, the mirror, hanging on the wall Was broken into hundreds of pieces. Collecting all of them and uniting in a frame Carefully I hung up the mirror again. When I stood in front of it, I was so much astonished, Found hundreds of ‘I's, staring at me - With so many faces of mine, mostly being unknown I got astounded and kept on looking at them! ! They were fat and lean, some looked so cunning Some of them were so gentle and benign. There, I found some devils even, Very cruel and ugly, so many! ! Looking at them I was so surprised But they all were staring at me, So many ‘I's being unknown and weird I was just comparing me with them. Feeling nervous, I left that place And looked back there again, I found them all at a time Were grinning at me with a tease. I bowed down in front of that broken mirror To reveal and expose me, Helping me to be cautious enough To analyze and correct myself. ==================== Amitava (2.11.20145) 7-00 am ©ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BY AMITAVA SUR
