Mirror...Mirror

When I look into the mirror, what do I see?
But a faded image of a lost soul.
When I gaze into the mirror, I do not see myself there,

it is as if I see someone else staring back at me.
Who is this person in the mirror of lost dreams and hopes?

Who is looking at me from another time and place?
Is it a future me or of me in the past.
What image do I see?
Could it be someone else, someone new?
Why does this person look at me with aged eyes.
I used to be young and now the gray hairs show, and the wrinkles are now there.

It is as if someone else is staring at me, staring right through me, beckoning me to come hither,

and escape into that mirror of vivid imagination, but for now...I will stay right where I am at,

and not enter into a new realm or another world, but will forever stay in this world and be trapped,

inside it.

the end...
