    MIRROR IMAGE

    MIRROR IMAGE

    An image shimmers in the mirror
    a reflection I can't perceive
    The child looking back at me
    maybe lonely and deceived

    Do I see some tears fall
    the face so small and dear
    The image seems so vague
    reflecting from the mirror

    I reach to touch the image
    as fragile as it seems
    With hope to bring her comfort
    and wake her from her dreams

    I need to know about her
    will she answer me
    I hear a little whisper
    just ask me and you'll see

    I ask the little girl
    are the tears of joy or pain
    She whispers once again
    does the sunshine does it rain

    You see I have no answers
    the whisper slowly dies
    For I am just an image
    and you're the one who cries

    I look into the mirror
    the little girl I see
    The perfect mirror image
    that little girl is me

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
