Looking Through: Mirrors

We stare just to stare; Attempting to memorize and familiarize Saving an image of the face looking back at us into the empty bank within our brain Imperfection after imperfection Peering to discover meaning behind it all The smeared peachy lip gloss and blushed tear-stained cheeks Remember this moment and do not look away just yet Bubbles of wonderment burst unexpectedly What does the future cradle in its prospects that the present failed to bring to life? Look within to resurrect that suppressed bolt of energy and charisma buried deep inside Mirrors hold the answers in the disguise of perfect smiling faces Break through. Stare just to stare

Now this is interesting Keely. Attempting to memorize and familiarize. That says it very well. I always wondered what made me go into a trance and stare at time. It truly is an attempt at understanding. Well done. - Dean
