AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a more recent one, written in 2008.  I was inspired by a toy talking hand held mirror my daughter was playing with in our car one day, as she was playing with it these lines started going through my head.  There was originally much more to this poem, but by the time I got home only these few verses remained fresh in my memory.  Can't exactly write and drive at the same time, y'know, not without getting into a wreck anyway.  haha  :D

                           Mirror Mirror




                  Mirror mirror on the wall

                  buffered glass that sees it all

                  Tell your secrets, tell your fears

                  Unbending truth throughout your years


                  Flickering images across your face

                  Fading in and out of time and space

                  Reality cares not what you see

                     Oh magic mirror of eternity....
