Mirror, mirror... Long fascinated by the images the way they seemingly stretch to forever. As well as how the slightest imperfection may cast a distorted, twisted reflection. An admirer meeting a collector oh now isn’t this just grand! “Mirrors everywhere, collecting the looks of things, one would guess. Dilapidated images perhaps; to someone else.” “Do they lie to you or me...nay, I shiver!” “Yet the image that snarls, fat, thin, or other shant be either; not for us do they deliver!” Then we both are collectors of sorts you with the actual, and I with my memories. ”I have a section where one hangs, Elegantly carved by accomplished hand it’s beauty external, plain to ones eye... It’s beauty and grandeur tainted only by peek Oh ho, tainted by the reflection we seek!” She smiles and pours properly with ghost of a wink, and finishes: “I have heard in days long gone by a tale of mirrors one might buy for a pence, maybe two, one could see... just how the others look at me!” We sit and tea amongst the crew nary a crook nor cranny not reflecting. Feeling slightly lost amongst such admirers mad collectors fancy and amateur’s delight! DJBurt with MM 2/00 (all rights reserved) there is only one... Romans 10:9-10 |

I wonder if we would really want to see how others see us(?) I'll have to think on that one! Well done! Denise |
