Poem at a Glance

The mirror describes itself.

It is silver-coloured and exact.

It doesn’t suffer from pre-conceived notions or pre-thoughts.

It is not affected by love, hate or other emotions.

The mirror reflects, whatever it sees, faithfully and objectively.

The mirror meditates on the opposite wall most of the times.

Another form of the mirror is a lake.

A women bends over it searching for her youth and beauty.

The woman sees her face in the mirror everyday and day by day she grows older.

She realizes that she has lost her beauty and youth.

The turns to candles and the moon who are just liar and never present exact and true images.

The mirror never deceives. The women feels agitated when reality bites her.

She is quite restless to realize that she is no more young and beautiful.

She feels terrible as a fish feels when it is out of water.
