The Image A mirror seeks confession From a hushed soul A dilemma, perhaps depression For whom the bells will toll Envy, the evil of intent In jealousy the devil dance’s to joy A war rages when one is never content But whom does it destroy? The mirror does reveal What a heart may feel And time can never steal If the image is true and real Marina Mar. 1/2000 |

This is always the last person that you ask and always the hardest one to listen to. Very well done. |

Not to be funny Marina. . .but this is very *ahem* "Reflective". . . And it shows me a whole other side of you. . . I like it. . .it's always hardest to ask those of the person in the mirror. . .

so true...and a wonderful poem too -molly aka sam Fleeting World "Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream." -from the Diamond Sutra, translated by : A. F. Price -- found in Teachings of The Buddha, edited by Jack Kornfield |
