"Professor, what do you see when you look into the mirror?" "Me? I see a warm pair of socks"

What is your pair of socks?

Is it love?

Is it victory?

Is it joy?

Is it friends?

Is it family?

Or is it foe?

What do you see,

Say that my friend,

When you peek

In the mirror of Erised

I show not your face,

But your heart's true desire

Desire

Erised

Equals, but yet not the same,

For this magic mirror lacks of shame

To show what you want,

Just your deepest wish,

The path you will walk

Till you find what you seek.

Shall death give it to you?

Or shall future come through?

Is it ever enough

To live in your dreams

For not every desire

Will never come true.
