I stood before the mirror boldly,
Stared wide eyed
At what others did see.
Relaxed my soul, opened my mind
Sent inhibition flying free.
I pulled myself into image reflected.
From minds-eye cavern
Gazed inside out.
And realized
As I gaped at this feat perfected
That as I stared in
In was staring out.
Humbled I was by this observation,
For its keenness cut deep
With stark clarity.
That no matter the disguise
Or pose I projected
A wise man looking deep
Would clearly see me.

Sandra~

With word-sharing the reader gets to mine for a 'gem'
this one is my treasured find -

'as I stared in
In was staring out'

Thank you guys. This was a play on a quote by Fredrick Nietzsche:

"When you gaze into an abyss, the abyss also gazes back at you"

Alison, might I say the same for you, Lady.
