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 :)

To me this piece speaks of the natural warp of existence that occurs when eyes meet the reflective surface of a mirror. We, ourselves can gaze into it and see not what we know to be true, a friend standing beside us will gaze into the mirror and not see themselves as truth either, nor will they see you as truth. Thus just with two people and their individual and unique visions, perspectives and emotional resonance, there has become a myriad of possible outcomes to every gaze, be that with the eyes or in it's allusion, of thought.
The more people gazing, and questioning truth of what they see, in connection with more and more mirrors being present, in the form of a varying amound to technical devices that exist in our modern day; We find that the odds that one thought or feeling or truth in one person has little chance to be communicated, reflected, refracted, or passed in anyform without some twisting, misplacing or trading out of specific details.
Amazing we can communicate at all with mirrors in our lives... =)
Wonderful piece Frieda! An enjoyment to read and ponder over.

The human relationship with our reflection can never trully be fixed, we always want something more from what we see, but mirrors do help us to see ourselves as we really are and us others see us and thats a start in terms of surface value. What lies beneath takes more than light!

That's for sure, thanks for your thoughts here leighgreen....
We can read and say we understand, but do we truly understand. We can feel sadness and pain or love and joy, but do we truly know exactly how it feels in the heart of the poet...I think not. We all experience these things differently, we write, but unless we walk in your shoes, merely reading it to understand is futile at best. This poem really hits home my wonderful friend. I know as poets, often we place our hearts and our pains out here for the entire world to see and hope to get our message across, but still inside what we actually feel is so much more than we could ever out in words. Very nicely done, beautiful as always, relatable and amazing.
