Mirror Reflections-Moments In Time
Mirror reflections
A walk down memory lane
Reliving moments
Through laugh lines and wrinkles
A look into the mirror
Memories brought back to life
Reliving the past in the present
Quantum leap from then to now
Twin images are different somehow
Is that me, I wonder
Time has played its game
Stitching one moment at a time
Drawing on my skin
Outlining my image
Me as I am today
As time holds up a mirror
I wonder, is that me
Who is that stranger on the other side
Time, drawing me away
Trying to reign in my spirit
Weighing me down
I break free from the shackles
My spirit soars
I am born again
I am free

Thank you Eric, thank you Gabe. Am so happy that you both liked the poem.
This is surreal. Mirrors can be an enemy or a kind friend. Thought provoking for sure.
