the Looking Glass

A reflection of myself.

I look into the Looking glass, what do I see?
I see a world left behind the image of me.
Does this have some further meaning? Some tempting thought i wonder?
The more I contemplate that view, the more I see past yonder.
I see the trees and the green of the hills. I see the rolling tones and cliffs of the sea.
I look into the Looking glass and all of a sudden I see me.
I see the wares and takes of life, the challenges in my mind.
I see the eyes that have seen many troubles, leaving motion to remind.
I see the joys and laughter of a woman who comes from young to old.
i see the mysteries and the secrets that her soul unknowingly holds.
I see the rain and smells of the earth as all becomes one.
I see the fields and fires of war, all happening under our sun.
I look into the Looking glass, what is it that i see?
All of the things that in this life he forever made me.

It's not easy to look at ourselves. Usually someone else is our mirror, forcing us to see what they see. I do have a favorite line "I see the mysteries and the secrets that her soul unknowingly holds. " To see what we unknowingly hold can be quite frightening...but in the end...it is all us.
