Reflect/tcelfeR
 
Ever watched
a bird and a mirror
or any animal
for that matter
well
it is fascinating
how the are
aware of themselves
and confused
by their image
yet
"they" say
dogs
can see
the unseen
but ghosts
cannot
reflect in a mirror
so
where do
they reflect?
when man
saw itself
the first
time
they were
awed
perhaps
in a
puddle
and
they
must have
thought
I am
God
so they
disobeyed
God
But God
"said"
we were
an image
of It
So
can I see
my shadow
in the Mirror?
yes
but only
if you
and
your
shadow
is
reflected
on another surface
I wrote is
my shadow
and I
is one
I worked
in the darkroom
as a trainee
Journalist
and discovered
the magic
of silver
that
can capture
images
the memory
of silver
becomes
instant
when
we look
in a mirror
our
eyes
play along
and our brain
sets
things strait
otherwise
we
would be
merely
a negative
of ourselves
that
what is
captured
is discarded
and
that
my dear
friend
is you
according
to the
magic
of
the darkroom
old
people
covered
mirrors
during
a storm
they feared
they would
be wiped
out
and no
longer
reflect
in it
I
Lie
I do
not know
what
old people
thought
no one
does
except
them
and
their
reflection
on Life
so
the book
"says"
we look
through
a glass
etc.
but
one day
we
shall
see
ourselves
in all
our glory
Love and peace
be with you
my fellow
phantom images
forever
Amen
