' the Mirror ... '

I Looked At The Mirror
Mirror, Looked Back At Me
I Asked The Mirror
What Do You See ?
The Mirror Smiled
“Same As You See”
I Touched The Mirror
The Mirror, Touched Me
Pressing To Break Thru
Glass Vanity
For Tho Eye To Eye
Sometimes I See
Mirror’s Right
 Is Left To Me
And My Right Side … Made Mirror Left
I Got Perplexed At Imagery
And I Turned Away From Mirror
And Mirror Turned From Me
Our Backs To Each Other
 Exposed Rigidly
But, Both Turned Back To Face
And Touch Same Place, And Be
Contained and Content
In Each Other’s Space Respectfully
We Shattered The Barrier
Between Mirror and Me
Back To Reflecting Our World
And The Same Things, We See …
Oh …  Mirror,  Mirror …
Reflecting You and Seeing Me …

The psychology of self is not easy to capture for its the psychology of present and reality ... when reality does not stand still ... but this poem showed dexterity of will, and sings beyond the mirror's pane.
