Mirror
the image displayed through the liquid reflection
conveys the thoughts and memories of life's imperfections
the mirror reveals the opposite of a being
but it can also conceal the things you are seeing
like a magician your eyes are shrouded by deception
from the mind to your eyes coerced through inception
the holistic visuals portrayed in each mirror
becomes the optical focus as the mind becomes clearer
though the eyes maybe the windows to the soul
the mirror can only reflect what the eyes behold
as the oceans reflects the heavens above
our actions reflect a heart filled with love
the world is a mirror reflecting our past
but shrouded in mystery shattered like glass
the quest for an image conjures the truth
but the relics of knowledge do not circumvent proof
but to view the ultimate image that one must bestow
one must see past the reflection that the mirror does show
