My Favorite Mirror - POEM of the MONTH!

My Favorite Mirror
 
In my house

There is a mirror
In every room
Even the hallway
 
And the entry
Is my favorite mirror
Before the world
Is blessed by my presence
 

Or before guests arrive
My mirror listens to me
Even while they’re here
And after they leave
 
My favorite mirror
My favorite image
My favorite indifference
My favorite judgment
 
I spied your gaze
Into my mirror
What you showed me
Was quite clear
 
In your house
Is my favorite mirror
Desilvered and cracked
By which you judge me
 
I cried at your gaze
Into my mirror
What you showed me
Was clearly ugly
 
In my house
I give you all my mirrors
And you shattered them
Into unrecognizable pieces
 
From your house
Is your favorite mirror
Blessed by your presence
Before I see the world
 
Now the one you gave me
Is my favorite mirror
The one you freely gave me
Is my favorite mirror

"For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
