consider

mirrors just glass
silvered to gleam
in chromed reflection
pause a bit
for introspection

in shadow’s light
clear glass still
reflects the night
draws one’s gaze
toward the bright

in shine of sun
seeing self
narcisstic, not
but eyes look
back, still hot

mirror my soul
or glass me in
the truth shall out
my spirit held
quiet, therein

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.  E. Hemingway

I wish my brain was not so weary then I could give this poem the attention it deserves. judging by this poem I know you have found beautiful things to
reflect, continue to ponder and produce poetry  

"across the unfair divide
where black will never meet white
so read my token lips
as though they never exist"

Hmmm...I see a "house of mirrors" type thing, where someone is trapped inside, and as I read I could almost see a kaleidoscope type situation (I guess my imagination ran away on me again!)

I think your spirit will never be kept within.  I can think of no vessel large enough to contain such.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

I just realized I had not come back to thank each and every one of you for your wonderful responses....

some of you see what you want, some of you always seem to peer in a little closer and take away that much more....

a group hug, to all of you fine poets....

thank you
