Reflection
she said
boy you are
awesome ..
he said no,
I’m just me ..
a humble
distraction
that’s all ..
she said oh’
man you’ve
just got to be
joking you
must be
some kind
of god then
at least ..
to which he
replied ..
well now on
reflection,
I’m such
an old mirror
a mere
servant who
was sent
here to help
set your
poor soul free ..

It is those secondary thoughts bounced back phrases that rattle in the mind and are reflected back to another that provide opportunities at time. A fun read where the mirror uses the viewer as least as I see it. Nicely done Neville
Ta ever so much .. Neville
Have a great day my friend
Good write N. The mirror replied to KP 'You're looking more trout-like each day!' lol.
I was wondering when that would crop up again .. Do we still use the term crop by the way ..
Yes -at harvest! lol.
Good to be reading you again, N! Much enjoyed. 👍🏻🕊️
Always, R
thanks for taking the time to take a peek .. I have always appreciated peeks, ever since I started climbing .. 😎👍
Wow, I enjoy your writing so much, yet so powerful. You had me thinking. Your dialogue between two characters—one who feels ordinary and the other who sees greatness in them—highlights the contrast between self-doubt and the admiration of others. Your poem suggests that interactions and reflections with others can shape one's identity and value.
Thank you kindly and so very much .. Neville
What a lovely piece, Neville. The humor keeps it light, but underneath it there’s a real humility and tenderness…someone content to reflect something back rather than claim the light for himself. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
I swear I responded to your very generous review yesterday .. I'm glad I felt compelled to re-visit which is something I rarely do .. anyway, thanks loads T and sorry for the late response .. not sure how that happened .. Neville 🏴🖤🐧⚫💛👍
