The Differences

the differences between a camara and a mirror are so distinctive it can not be clearer for one is waiting and stays in it's place and the other is willing to record time and space the one is like living as if it's a dream though another in another diminsion share a life we weather we see ourselves or not we live around the corner the reflection of life and light seperated by glass boarder the camera is a wittness for all beautifull things it's telling eye records whats most intresting in its eye light is truth when the camera is in focus they sometimes use the frame by frame to see what we did'nt notice both camera and mirror are tellers of the truth but when used by magicians they are of totally different use camera's record the past and mirrors show the present the two together a time machine that might surprise the bearer some imagin the mirror a window into another place but really all it is, is a device to see ones face and some think that with the camera they can capture your soul but what the camera really does is shows us how we've grown old and if we could go through the window of the picture and regain our youth what would become of wisdom and what would become of truth but away with foolish notions and forget those fantasies use the camera for memories and the mirror for seeing me

you must finish this, I want to read the rest of it, so far it's very good..."check your weather" as someone once said, and you've invented another new word 'refelection' kind of halfway between recollection and reflection, didn't I tell you ages ago you have a language of your own called riddlespeak :-)
