Mirror! Mirror! Shines so bright,
"It" knows all the secrets of my lonely heart,
I looked into "it" and showed me-
A small baby cradled in its mother's lap,
Waving its tiny hands and legs about,
Smiling that innocent smile,
For reasons known not,
But "it" really did hide the image of the other side,
The trickling tears,from the swollen eyes of a widowed mother,
The questioning eyes,stretching into the doubt of darkness.
"it" really did hide the image of the other side.
I looked into "it"
and "it"showed me-
A young girl sprouted into the bashful world,
Swaying with joy and bouncing with mirth,
Giggling for reasons not worth.
But"it"
really did hide the image of the other side.
The deserted cocoons of flown away hopes,
The empty stomachs and vacant visions
Of brothers and sisters.
"It" really did hide the image of the other side.
I looked into "it" and "it" showed me-
A bride adorned in yellow and red,
With thousands of expectations clear and unclear.
But "it" really did hide the image of the other side.
The eternal exit from the known to the unknown,
The deliberate desertion of liberty of her own.
"It" really did hide the image of the other side.
I looked into "it" and "it" showed me-
A middle aged woman with slightly made up face,
With twinkle of memorabilia of golden days past,
Years of experience stored in the sliver chest.
But "it" did really hide the image of the other side.
The winkles of agony around the pools of eyes,
The empty pipes deprived of desires.
"It'really did hide the images of the other side.
Mirror! Mirror! Shines so bright,
What else it has in its secret light?
