An Open Window

Look in the mirror,
 what do you see?
 A reflection of self, a picture of me.
 Look closer, look longer, 
 is that what you still see?
 look past the make-up,
 look past the smile.
 eyes tell it all, 
 a reflection it may be.
 a window, a gateway,
 a reflective pane- 
 past it all do you really see?
 shatter it in a thousand shards,
 makes no difference
 pieces still remain.
 Look into the mirror 
 do you truly see?
