Smash The Image

Smash The Image

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

A shattered mirror

Tells more of the truth

About your reflection

Than one that shows you

As a whole.

 

Stand on the pieces that remain

And you’ll understand

That the seven years of bad luck

Is just the Dorian Gray

Inside your head.

 

When vanity becomes

The vein of your existence

Allow a sliver of the glass

To get in your eyes

So you can see

Visions of the blind.

The more we see...the less we see, of ourselves. Inner beauty is invisible to eyes steeped in vanity. Amazing truth expressed in amazing lines Dale.

Thank you for your kind words.
I am not sure how I managed or what brought me through but today as my sight begins to fail me.....life seems richer, more beautiful, and surreal. Maybe its just these lovely words I hear ....but it is exactly what it is.:)

I think we appreciate things more when we know we have a chance to lose them.
The truth of who we are is reflected in the way others behave towards us and treat us.

You are very correct, thank you Ana.
Ah...mirror mirror. It's better we look inside with our blind eye than worry about how we look. A very interesting way to present such sage thoughts. Nice work.

Thank you so very much for the review and your wisdom.
Yes we don't appreciate our sight... Sight of nature sight of family and sight of life.
Vanity is in the eye of the beholder but sometimes their vision is rather blurred

Great stuff cowboy xx

I can't argue with that. Everything is more beautiful when you look with your heart.
Brilliant. I love this, especially the second stanza.

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
