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?
