Perceptions

Judgments based on one's perception.
Others are a mirror of one's self
Reflections in the mirror are captured by one's thoughts

I am lovely
I am unlovely

The World is Glorious
The World is miserable

The sky is blue
The sky is grey

Earth is transitioning
Earth is stagnant

The mirror reflects empowerment
The mirror reflects powerlessness

What you perceive 
is what you believe

An image of your world is beliefs
Change your beliefs
Change your world

Dear Robertina, insightful poetess, your poem is deep and rich in both thought and imagery. Your elegant poem is potent. Indeed, your thought-provoking verse captures "perceptions" so eloquently.. the depth of your last stanza is profound. What a poetic gem, my creative friend! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
