an oracle

a foolish being-
she is at the mercy of her mirror
an antique before
now a broken piece
polish gone awry
yet it beholds her
she relishes her image
(I pity her)
an image as broken as the mirror
both wait for an oracle
one animate, another inanimate

"mirror and her are yin and yang"

    I pity her too, I prefer to stay far away from my mirror.

    I have never been a fan of the mirror myself. Interesting and thought-provoking write.

    The person in the mirror is a poor choice for a love affair. Some can't resist though. You crafted this very well. Vb

    I do like the idea of her and the mirror being Yin and Yang.

    Mirror and her are yin and yang. I think this can be true for many, especially if moods are involved!

    Mirrors are such powerful things..we can be looking at ourselves and still not recognise who we really are..thought provoking as usual..Jae

    A mirror lies to you all the time, regardless of whether you can tell your left hand from your right.

    May there be a time when we all can look in the mirror and see the beauty within. Excellent write my friend.

    mirrors lie anyway...and prey at our fears.

    You create an excellent balance throughout your 55 between illusion and "reality" Very well done.

    She should never look in the mirror if it bothers her so much.
    Most excellent 55 Gautami.
    Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End

    Many have spoiled themselves consumed in those mirrors...it is a pity, that we can be so misled. Resonant piece.
