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 3/3/2015

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

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.

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

I have a mirror that just flat out lies...Ha!!! Goodwork about the feelings that go with stages of life especially aging..Thanks for dropping by..I have always thought what a sad revelation it must have been for Eve when she saw her aging reflection in the still water of a stream..Sara

So descriptive Eve - beauty radiates from the inside and that inner beauty never fades not like how we look on the outside - into faves and a 7:-) Hugs Jan xx

Thank you, Jan, beauty does radiate from the inside. Those that are close to us is the reason we love them because of what they express the inside. Blessings dear friend loves and hugs

Barbara, you tickle me. I tried to avoid them but I have them all over the house not only does it show my age it shows my weight and I am not as little as I used to be. Thank you for the compliment blessings

WOW, Eve...What a beautiful write. Oh...I know the feeling. I've written a poem entitled, Mirror, Lie to Me. Yes...I used to love looking in the mirror...I still do, but now it's to see all the little things that weren't there before. I know the feeling you've penned so beautifully. Hugs
