**** A Mirror Image! Poem by RAJ NANDY

**** A Mirror Image!

Rating: 5.0


A MIRROR IMAGE!
The image in the mirror reflects reality,
Its reflection is full of authenticity!
My heart which is placed on my left,
Gets transferred to the right as the mirror
reflects!
Perhaps there it gets more rightly placed!
And so does my image which ripens with
time,
As the transient self is gradually left behind!
My being slowly sinks and gets drowned, -
With bubbles rising to form my crown!
And as those bubbles burst it is seen, -
My existence was an insubstantial dream!

a good piece of write and the transperant as said well.......left to write......and the ripples......the aura of physical sense always sounds good rather than innerconscience...............

I suppose, we should take a good look in the mirror from time to time, just to check what is going on. We seem to do this more often when we are young, as we grow older we seem to not do it as often as lifes journey is then more apparent. Bob
