Reflections

A reflection. Mirror image portrayed to my optics,
Details all important, even the microscopic.
Mental anguishes.  Internal and external exposed…
A lot gathered from the familiar image that is shown.

A Reflection…. A retrospect of past present and future
Watching the aging as my youth deteriorates to ruin.

Looking back at me in the mirror is a lifeless figure
Who is this person is see? He’s no one I can remember.

Naked the soul stands.. Exposed to danger
Damaged by people, family, and strangers

Reflections…. Mirror images of my former self
Looking back in the mirror is a stranger..
An image of someone else.

(sigh) So funny it does seem to always look back at ourselves and see how we've changed! (smiles) I believe through time, in listening to our loving hearts, we will grow and grow with love! (big hugggssssss) Soooooo very thought-provoking, dear friend, I love it!!! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Antonio, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

*sigh* my heart goes out to you. People can damage our souls but they can also heal our souls....hold to faith and hope that you will receive healing and be able to see the wonderful man you are in your mirror. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Deep poem! I can tell that it was written from experience!

Ah yes, it's a strange feeling we get when we look closely at ourselves and try to see our soul. Nicely done

I am really feeling you on this one ghost!
I also know that you are a good, kind, man, so next time you look in that mirror smile for me!

Your topic here is indeed really interesting. A mirror does reflect how we've changed, and I really like the way you talk about reflections. Reflecting on oneself's inner growth, and outter changes.

With a lighter note, I'd share my 'unpleasant' encounters with the mirror...   It brings back memories of an adolescent staring at the pimples on her face.

Oftentimes in growth we look back on who we were, not recognizing all that it took to bring us to the moment...

which you've captured, quite well...
