Mirror Image

A Poetic Exploration of the Fascination of Reversed Reflections

By new kingPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

A mirror image, so strange and surreal

A reflection that's hard to reveal

A world that's turned upside down

A sensation that makes us look around

With every move, a mirrored trace

A sight that's hard to replace

Our left becomes our right, our right becomes our left

A sensation that makes us feel so bereft

But in that reversal, there's also a charm

A feeling that's hard to disarm

A world that's familiar, yet so new

A sensation that fills us with wonder and hue

For when we stare at that mirrored sight

We see a version of ourselves so bright

A reflection that's a different kind of beautiful

A sensation that's hard to find so bountiful

So let us celebrate the mirror image

A sensation that's hard to gauge

For in that reflection, there's also a thrill

A sensation that makes our hearts fill.
