Beware of Mirrors

Neville

Beware of Mirrors

 

As I turned to watch her

Sweep those dreadful blues away

 

Beware of mirrors

I thought I Heard Her say

 

The stuff that hides behind the silver

Will never go away

 

Oh yes beware of mirrors and

All forms of reflection

 

Since too much light and insight

Will only serve

 

To make you blind

One day

  • Michael Edwards

    In life please spare us
    illusions in mirrors
    reflections of errors.

      • orchidee

        Ohhh yes I did! Fido barked to put me off, but I put him out the back yard!

      • Fay Slimm.

        Much food for thought in this verse Nev. - -- an image of self reflects reality if we dare look and insight does not go away...... deep truths hide in these clever lines my dear friend.

        • Neville

          Thanks Fay and muchly so.... N

          A reflection is a prize for it allows us to see from another viewpoint. Poison to the narrow minded.
          Knowledge begat wisdom.

          • Neville

            thank you for visiting these words DA and for helping me reflect ... N

          • orchidee

            I met her - or so I thought! But I couldn't see her in the mirror. She must be a vampire. Arrggh!

            • Neville

              thank you ........... N

            • Poetic Dan

              Oooo really like this!
              Very fluid my friend

              • Neville

                thanks a million.... N

              • Suresh

                At least let me blame my follies on my reflections

                • Neville

                  blame on you..... mirrors never lie....... N

                  • Suresh

                    Yes, shame on me,

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Mirrors do not show us who we are, they only show the reflection of ourselves turned through 180 degrees. We know who we are inside of ourselves.

                    • Neville

                      thank you for pointing me in the right direction friend...

                    • L. B. Mek

                      profound and timeless, insightful wisdom: worthy, of deep contemplation
                      and as always worded so enticingly subtle my friend, glad I fished this one out
                      worth uploading again in the future (in my humble opinion)

                      • Neville



                        I am most honoured and truly my dear friend .. I wonder if you can imagine how pleased I am that you took the time to find this old scribble .. All I can say is .. I really am ..

                        Neville
