Mirrored Reflections

Imagine someone finished all your thoughts and never failed to share your point of view. Would your reflection really be your own if one you mirrored also mirrored you? I think it would be nice to be real close to someone else, but picture him your clone. . . If one you mirrored also mirrored you, would your reflection really be your own? I saw a show about a pair of twins. They’ve stayed the same in all they say and do. Would your reflection really be your own if one you mirrored also mirrored you? What mystery or fun in partnerships if there were always everything foreknown? If one you mirrored also mirrored you, would your reflection really be your own? If bonds of love were colors, could they thrive if they remained the one same constant hue? Would your reflection really be your own if one you mirrored also mirrored you? If you reflected someone flesh and soul. . . Together would you not still be alone? If one you mirrored also mirrored you, would your reflection really be your own? I would not like to know my whole sweet life were being lived by not just one, but two! Would your reflection really be your own if one you mirrored also mirrored you?

I have always pondered the kinship of twins......and if that is a difficult role, or one that is blessed...... coming closest to the feelings of your poem, is that concept. My daughter-in-law happens to be a twin....and it is indeed as if she were cloned at times. I almost envy her being able to see "herself" more clearly. Great poem, Andrea. Congrats!!!

They flee into eternity; these images my mirror holds of me - Diminishing into nothingness - these images my mirror holds of me..... This is a great bit of writing, Andrea. Your creative wisdom cannot be reflected by mere silver and glass, leaving nothing to offer you but congratulations .... Jake

It misses the subject completely, and I don't know why, but this poem makes me think of 'The Dance' by Garth Brooks...Great wisdom and insight here my friend and congrats of course - Tim
