I like the subtle touch of spelling fantasy the way you have...I also like the (ironic?) idea of the mirror's dust "nicely" covering its secrets...this first stanza just blew me away, especially the last two lines, which were beautifully put, and went on to set the stage for the rest of the piece, which is a compelling study of those secrets referred to earlier...all in all, a very philosophical piece...love this one Mrs.R :)

I agree; lots of layers to peel away. We do strive to reflect our glimmers of truth in poetry whatever the mood or flavor; its not easy. lots of couplets (if you will) that intrigue and demand reflection. Had to read this several times and each time got better. much food for thought so early in the morning (5 am)

This sounds as if it should have been written long hand in a ladies journal a couple of centuries ago. It is gossamer delicate and very finely wrought.

You humble me with your kind words Ken, thanks so much.
You and I may experience the exact same tragedy, or joyous event for that matter. However, your past experiences, personality, emotional state, and abilities will have your reaction and feelings slightly different than mine. It is just how life and humanity work. We think we understand exactly, but we will always be off the mark somewhat. Although it may be futile at best, I believe our differences are what help pull each other through some rough stuff! Excellent write, my friend!

Glad you understood my musings here Sirrah, thanks so much my friend!
Wonderfully deep thoughts here. You're right! We extract our own meaning from writing and it's never quite as deep as the thought of the writer. I guess that's because writing is such a spiritual part of us. Yes we can write in the flighty and funny, but when we pour our hearts out, the intent is always a little bit hidden. I often wonder if we do that on purpose(without realising sometimes)
....fancy conjecture.... like that expression.
Another thoughtful poem from you, as always!

The dust on the mirror nicely covers
a multitude of secrets...
As though the veil was on purpose, keeping the reflection a bit murky... and no one will wipe off the dust to see the full truth. Truly wonderful image and metaphor here, Frieda. I am pondering...

Love it when it gets someone to ponder, thanks Rita...
If you want to know me, read my poetry, it's all in there. I am a mother of three sons (my finest moments) a sister, a survivor and a little bit crazy. I lost my beloved sister to suicide, so you'll.. more..
