An Ode to My Mirror
Mark is an ordained minister, treading the tumultuous waves of a developing writing career, daring to dream a new dream.

Good day, mirror.
Once again, I honor you with my reflection.
Are you excited about the reflection of my visage?
Please, don’t quiver, for you may break.
I know what you feel, for I feel it, too!
The beauty, the wisdom, the perfection.
Oh mirror, I must look away!
The power is too great.
The magic is too powerful.
One magical mirror is enough.
I cannot bear the burden.
It is too much to ask of me.
Oh, but you cry! The mist fogging your glass.
I must go. I must turn away.
Our time together is so short.
But, I will return.
You will reflect my visage again.
Again, you will quiver at my sight.
Farewell, mirror!
I bid you, Adieu!
My shiny, shiny mirror!
