Notes About The Poem

Mirror

I have no thoughts of a mirror
must allow my brain to think
to give it purpose      to write a poem
thoughts and mind must interlink

To find reason or cause
for every reflection,   I have seen
from a skin of pink to a skin of gray
and the changes in between

I know there will be those
who'll write a metaphor or two
a philosophical take on the theme
from illusions,    their mirror reflects so true

I've never thought or dreamed of mirrors
only reflections on a lake
where I sit to write this poem
and share my final take

Truth is told wherever we find our reflection, and also in this great poem, nothing less than magnificent flows from your pen Sir!
