Distorted View On Main Street

Looking at my reflection
In a pool of water,
my face appeared oblong
as the quivering breeze
created ripples across the surface,
for a moment as I pondered
I spy a glimpse of the future,
looking up at me!

I'm wondering if distortion isn't a good thing when seeing oneself. Do we ever know who we truly are? Love your thought in this one.

oh, yes, this is so relatable, harry. I see my mother and think how I will look like her one day (good thing she is still pretty good looking at 80!!) but yes, things get a bit distorted, sadly!!
