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

        Mirrors are deceiving when the reflection is not true to the self.

        Mirrors are deceiving to me I do not look much in the mirror. A surprise of how poetry holds my eye and you have showed that in your expressions.

        Mirrors can be strange devices that do far more than just provide a reflection. This is an interesting poem with a very inspirational ending. Thank you for sharing it, Nithya.

        This is surreal. Mirrors can be an enemy or a kind friend. Thought provoking for sure.

        Dear Ms. Vellur, I really liked your poem. For me the mirror is different now.

        We talked about reflections not only of time but of our own light.
