The Mirror by Dove
I look in the mirror
and what do I see
Hair shimmering
iridescent
Like a raven's wing
or a bubble
flying free.
But I'm not free.
Am I?
--------
The face in the glass
carries sadness
Is it the past?
the present?
or the uncertain future…
--------
The reflection I see
is only an illusion.
But my violet eyes,
windows to the soul,
and how I see others',
are there…
Or is it another illusion?
--------
The mirror is solid.
It is certain.
How can I be
When my whole life
Was hiding and battles?
--------
If the glass breaks,
it reflects still,
but it's broken
and changed.
Is my soul
the same?
