Reflection of life

by Michael   Aug 8, 2017


I look into a shattered mirror..

and see...

a reflection of...

..a broken man, staring back.

I look into a broken mirror..

and see...

a reflection of..

..a shattered man, staring back.

I walk away..

thinking.

Am I just worn out and tired?

or..

beyond repair!?

    Michael, I think we all contemplate that shattered mirror image, esp.as we get older. Life has a way of wearing us down..well done with this.

    I like the clever play on words in this, Michael, which prove - by the way - that you are not 'beyond repair'...yet :)

    Take care

    Oh my dear, I think you are just tired. And well, please look into a mirror that is not shattered or broken because it surely distorted your reflection. :-)

    I feel the sadness you want to convey in here...and you have conveyed it well. I like the format, too. Nicely written, Michael.

      Thank you Miss M.
      While a poem can look how life is, this piece is more metaphorically reflected. If that makes sense.
      All my mirrors are okay, for now :)

      Hehe. Because you have been to many things I know you are strong and I know they are okay.
