Notes About The Poem

Mirror of my Mind

"As you look deeper in the heart
the mirror gets clearer and cleaner...Rumi"


The mirror of my mind,
reflects the years of my heart
leaving my face a wilderness 
   of weathered wrinkles
caused by the deluge of memories
seen on the reflecting surface
   of smooth black glass
that lays in the darkness
of my mind's shadowy mystic mystery 
where I see the reflection of my soul 
surrounded by faces from yesterday
   spinning in deeper realms
of concentric circles carrying refracted thoughts
   to my mirror's glass
each time I looked inward
and see the face of my soul looking back
   in the mirror of my mind
