Image result for old man abd a miirror

 

 

My love is silent as I slumber on, A day rises beyond my window frame, And in my fragile body, I grow lame, But I found a mirror all decked and don. What odds that a looking-glass cause, Alice, Placed outdoors I can see a younger me, Under the sun, I am basking carefree, Passing familiars whom I cherish. A reddish sun drawing a purple glow, A bedroom grows darker a bit astir, Routines of a day, now a slumberer, As a mirror stood still in the shadow.
