Some things still take me by surprise. The moment I realize I was wrong again, though I knew without doubt I was right this time. The pain stabbing my heart at the mention of an old lover's name. A pain supposed to be cured years ago. The truth, abruptly noted: the new century did not bring a better life. Did not resolve a single thing. The admission I sadly make. Another misbegotten love has failed. I am alone again. The quick glimpse in the mirror, as an undesirable apparition appears looking suspiciously like my mother. The arrogance again observed of those in an artificial position of power. They do not deserve respect. It hasn't changed a bit over all these years. I still hate surprises. |

Cat..Is this ever true!!! I am still surprised at being surprised. All my years, all my experiences and I am still surprised at all I see around me. The looking in the mirror was the best part...my dad has appeared there I'm afraid (in appearance only, thank goodness). I voted...definitely book material. Hardrock |

Wonderful work here hon, I too still get surprised by what effects me and what doesn't. But I differ in one respect I see my father when I look in the mirror, and having only met him for the first time in Dec '99 I'm thrilled at that image!! Great musings hon..  I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Oh Sandra, this was wonderful!! How many times have we said.."Are we surprised??" You did an excellent job here I loved it and it made me smile, ( of course not about any sadness you feel) just the theory of it all..such a good job!!! The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose...--Hada Bejar |

Alice stepped into her looking glass: it sounds as if you stepped out of yours. Very creatively expressed. Sometimes reflection is curative...sometimes one just needs to turn the silvered reflection to the wall and move on... Nice job here. *S* Evan |

Cat, don't we all hate those surprises that take us by surprise, time and time again! A brilliant poem. Need I say so? You know it! Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

this is just another great poem from you. i rather enjoyed this more than the other i guess because it had more effect on me. I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson- |
