Advice for a Friend

When you're miserable
And overcome by tedium,--
Admire yourself in the mirror!
Like a mermaid,
You emerge from its medium
Like a miracle!

When you're meandering
In and out of the misty memory
Where the mercury's fallen to zero,
Do no listen to the same old melody,--
Admire yourself in the mirror!

When you're serving the final minutes in
The cell of your conscience for some misdemeanor
The majority rules that you're innocent,--
Admire yourself in the mirror!

And when life seems morbid
And insignificant
And your fire burns into an ember,--
May the mirror reflect your magnificence
And illumine the world with its splendor!

Ah Master, and now I am smiling,
for my mother always took the mirror
away, saying that there were things
to be done...
thank you for this!
