Reflection In the Mirror

Feeling the youth
And vigor in my heart
In a fog of my conscious mind
Fluffy white clouds and blue sky
Green emerald tall grass
I love and dance around

Reflection on the surface of the mirror
Reveals a different story
Sees what we are
Not what we feel

To regain the youth
Instead, we relinquish our past
I'm that little girl in
Norman Rockwell illustration,
"What you see in the Mirror?"
Wishing for my beautiful youth

The eyes of my loved ones
see a different me
The person they love
with all their heart
With no flaws, but beauty

Reflection In The Mirror
Reveals a different story

Paul Callus Date: 7/16/2016 3:10:00 PM The problem is that mirrors can only show what lies on the outside! The trick is to see right through a mirror - it has no brains:) ~ Congratulations on placing first, Eve. hugs // paul Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/4/2015 2:16:00 PM Hmm, I thought for sure I had read this one before. But seeing it with these pictures is new! they really add to it, Eve. I love that we can put pictures up now. This is a very nice poem. Login to Reply Eve Roper Date: 3/5/2015 9:01:00 AM Thank you, Andrea, this is my first one of a mirror. I do perfer the poem with out pictures. But I do like that it describes your meaning a little more if your poem is confussing. But your poetry is always self explanatory. Blessings dear friend
