A Mirror’s Ode

Ripples of replication

surrounded in dancing mahogany,

Your portraits live in transition.

Immeasurable grains enflamed then rearranged

to change its core structure

Your creation is phenomenal.

The greatest mime to ever live

as eyes rest on you, gazes are mimicked.

Confidence and esteem because you give,

A oneness of self and backgrounds vivid.

You are deep thoughts as I search for hidden flaws,

A masquerade of doubt, you saw the raw image.

Thawed the frozen,

Closed the open,

Repaired the broken,

Selected the chosen.

Spoken truths that illuminated dark spaces.

You’ve lifted me like ballet recitals,

Tore me down like demolition.

Your honesty is appreciated

as you keep it genuine

and I thank you for

Perfection in evaluating the here and now.
