That mirror hanging on the wall
It’s been there long as I recall
What things has it always seen
The many events that have been.
It does not just review the face
It sees much more than just your grace
It also reflects within your eyes
The memories all undisguised.
You gaze at the old,old mirror
And from within your eyes
Memories begin to materialise
You suddenly see truth.
Your face is not what you truly are
It’s only the picture you don’t mar
Your real you is within the eyes
And now you see it-no surprise.
Within the eyes are truths- my view
Of words spoken, although untrue
Am I the one, people assume
Or am I the one I see in the gloom.
It’s good to view that mirror there
If you’re prepared your faults to bare
But do you want to know the facts
Or can we live without reacts.
The mirror sees so many things
It sees all of the happenings
And till it breaks, or loose it’s
lustre
It keeps its secrets for ever after.
