In a reflection
What do you see?

Is that the future or past
Staring back at me?

Secrets…
It does surely hold;

Of unknown stories
Not yet told.

Study the details;
Are they really the same?

Or does the reflection
Answer to a different name?

Now viewed together
Another image you’ll see.

Each looks like the other;
A natural portrait complete.

A glossy rendition
Of something vibrant; alive.

Or is there a difference
The naked eye cannot spy.

Whether merely a reflection
Or a glimpse of something more.

A striking resemblance of one;
A reflection, you cannot ignore.
