The Mirror


The Mirror

a friend told me to look in the mirror
that i would find beauty there
all i saw was a pair of sad eyes
looking back at me

eyes that change
gray, blue and green
neutral, happy and angry

tonight i saw my reflection 
in a new light
i saw eyes that were not mine
yet they belong to me

tonight i saw something more
i saw beauty
a beauty that is old
a beauty that is new

and then she was gone...

a friend told me to look in the mirror
i guess it was the wrong one

i looked in and saw a smile
a smile that holds knowledge
knowledge that i do not have yet
knowledge that i hope to come to

i looked in and saw a reflection
a reflection of you
those who are within me
those who are a part of me
past, present and future

a friend told me to look in the mirror...
