The Mirror Image

The Mirror Image When you look at the mirror what do you see, a reflection of yourself, it looks like you and mimmicks your movements but there is many real differences firstly it has no life as we know it and the image is an opposite to yourself, the same only different it has no intelligence and is a prisoner in glass form but it always gives you a true image of yourself, it is akin to a shadow that comes out during the day and reflects at night by the light of a street lamp. It is an aura that will always be with you through life. Written : 9th June 2013

Hi Donna, I am pleased you liked this poem a sequel to The Shadow, a dark reflection that comes out during night and in sunlight, I followed it then with The Mirror Image, you can see a similar connection , thank you for your kind comments Donna. John
