Double Image A mirror seeks confession From a hushed soul A dilemma causing depression But from who have you stole? Envy, the evil of intent Jealousy, the devil’s dance of joy War rages when one is never content And who will be destroyed? The mirror does reveal What your heart truly feels True self cannot be concealed For the image is always true and real It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley |

Marina.... This is a great line: "True self cannot be concealed" The mirror certainly reveals all, and sometimes things we don't want to see!! This is a great read!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Jealousy is indeed a trait that can eat at one's soul... I think this is a powerful piece of work, Marina...I'm still pondering your words of wisdom. |

Loving ones self and having respect for yourself as well will abandon the evils of jealously and envy. I believe it is called self worth. Lovely piece.  |

Yes James, you are right to a certain extent. Whether we like it or not it is a human emotion and it is in all of us. Sudhir, thank you my friend. Mark, you said it all perfectly! Thank you my friend. Marina It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley |
