Self Reflection
mirrored reality
reflects the inner man
manifested in duality
a play of dark and light
limitations found in presence
a quiet gaze
a thoughtful stance
the total picture
makes its mark
Self and Not Self
found there, standing
in the mirror, side by side
no illusion, no division
on the right, unbounded future
behind, imprisoned past
held together in quiet balance
true realization comes
in self-reflection
freedom comes to him at last.
Based on a reflected image, a photo of a friend…. An anonymous self study.
