Mirror

With open eyes
we gaze at 
things visible,
in smiles of 
disguise,deep 
wounds,
pines within are 
covered.

In learning we 
dare not go 
beyond
our imagination,
and the content 
of our skull.
All we hear 
around us is 
whispering,
in conversation 
and sharing
we learn that 
leads our path.

In sentimental 
feelings we go 
the loner path.
In giving we 
learn not to 
withhold,
we see others 
through us
we see 
ourselves 
through our 
dealings.
