Poem Title:
Poem
In a sunlit room I sit in front of a mirror, find its still face shining as an animated entity. Intrigued by its glassy silence I ask, are you always silent? Mirror : Yes, but I’m in and out inherently honest, reflecting the truth, and elegantly eloquent, revealing the reality that faces me. Me : You face the changing scenario around you all the time. Do you remember every frame that passes you by? Mirror : No, whatever faces me leaves to disappear from my discernment for good, because I’ve no emotional attachment, nor do I’ve a memory. Me : It’s interesting. In human world an unattached being is either self-centric egoist or a hermit. What are you? Mirror : I’m neither. I foster no bias or preferences. Being utterly neutral, I perceive the images of an emperor and a beggar shaped by the same authenticity as their real identities. Me : That’s why people say that your character is paradoxical. You’re still and fragile, yet so powerful in capturing the individuality. How would you characterize yourself? Mirror : Truly, I’m passive, yet I confront everything with candor. I’m inert, yet I reveal with precision. I’m a silent witness to the unexpressed truths, and a patient companion in self-scrutiny. Me : I don’t understand. Could you clarify. Mirror : Well, look in me. What do you see? Me : I see me. Mirror : Listen to your inner whisper I silently echo for you. Me : Yes, I hear it saying, “Many aspects of singular distinction hide within the network of your mind’s cipher layers, can’t be decoded by the world outside, the reticent sense of silent self never cares. An insular captive of your mental making, you’re you, an inimitable loner.” It’s so true. I now understand what you said earlier about your special quality. Mirror : I would say that the ability to transform self-scrutiny into self- adored realization is my unique attribute. Me : You mean you create dormant Narcissus that lurks within those transfixed with you. Mirror : Yes, that’s my pleasure. Me : It has been my pleasure too talking with you. Thank you for the interview.
