Mirror Images 2

some 
look in
      a mirror

see an unloved
child

some
like narcissus
stay in love

     with a reflection


some 
reflect
     on life

and truth
       it portends


some others 
greet the
      morning light

   too many 
      others 

cry at night

Enjoyed reading your thoughts this morning, Brian, it’s very true, we all see something different when we look in the mirror. Lately I see an old man looking back at me. Cheers, John
