Reflections of the past, present and future
Reflections of the PresentReflections of the Past
Reflections of the Future
Have you ever wondered
What a mirror truely sees
Especially one very old
It keeps on reflecting
Never judging
Pure and clear
Ripples in time
Changes in the air
These things matter not to a
Mirror
The mirror has seen so many faces
So many emotions
So many styles
While quietly laughing
Or surmising
Imagine what an antique mirror has seen..
Perhaps the dawning of a new century..
Or the end of an old era
My parents have a mirror
From around 1850
It is worn
And used
Who has seen their reflection
Admired their face
Despised their body
Brushed their hair
I wonder...
If you look hard enough
Will you see..reflections of time
Like a photo negative
Absorbing image after image
Reflection after reflection
Who will I see
And are they too looking back at me
From the same mirror
Reflections of the Present
Reflections of the Past
Reflections of the Future..
