Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

The Perceiver

(*I dedicate this poem to Sylvia Plath on reading her life and works.)
.


Oh, the wrinkled face makes me sad
When I look my reflection into you.
I know you are always true
Without preconception
And never change the reflection
But swallow it as it is
And present it to a person.

Never mistaken and not giving false image
Impartial, without love or hate to anyone.
Some ugly people may accuse you 
Of being cruel and untruthful
As you don’t glorify anything.
To me you are God’s eye
Always truthful and impartial
With four dimensions.

Reason A. Poteet March 29, 2014 at 12:27 PM insightful piece literally. It was the same wrinkled look I saw from my grandson after I dumped him from his carrier to the floor on his face. A marvelous tribute to Ms. Plath.
