Image in the Mirror- Mine

Image in the Mirror- Mine

A Poem by SilentDreamer

I can't imagine
How it will feel
In eighty years,
When at the time,
I look in the mirror
And see a stranger.
Her face is wrinkled;
Her body is frail,
Easily broken.
Her mouth curves up
in a persistent smile.
And her eyes are so alive.
Yet so hauntingly familiar.
Which is when I slowly realize
They're mine.

The only imperfections most see are the ones they're "looking" for.

I really like the idea that we all do eventually grow old, and we should get used to it and embrace life. This is a very good poem, and I enjoyed reading it!

Aging is just the scariest thing, at least we don't have to go it alone, everyone grows old but the heart remains young, lovely, lively.

so nice! I always liked the poems about self-reflection and mirror. It makes me think about the time..and the future, but I escape from it quickly :)

I love it
funny how beauty fades
yet the eyes stay true, however murky

So much meaning and emotion packed into so little text. Love it.

The beauty of aging. The imagery of the old women was well thought out. Thanks for sharing this was delightful. :)
