I Gaze at the Mirror

I gaze at the mirror:
The features that I see
Are contrary to what
The mirror whispers to me.
I see a familiar form,
Abound with common traits
Nothing striking or unique
Unchanged as of late.
Yet the mirror whispers,
And acutely reflects,
That I must draw towards
What much I neglect:
That which lies within
The me that is inside
The sentiments and thoughts
That within me reside,
And gazing at the mirror
Staring at the outward me
From such an obligation
I must strive to be free.

| Interesting, if only our mirrors would show essences as well as form. You've struck an idea into flame, at least with me. Very good. |

| I liked how you put the search for ourselves in perspective. Everyone see one of oneself but knows there's another. Very good write, I liked the flow and the message. thank you for sharing |

Yes indeed...
Ammar, you are well down "The Path." Mankind is oh so wrapped up in superficial externals; shallow; terrorized by surface noise. A long time ago I decided to "let the dead bury the dead," and started living beneathe the surface, relating to what really matters...all the internal stuff. I've often referred to mankind's plight as being obsessively concerned about the "symptoms" and completely ignoring the "disease." To address the "disease" one must go beneathe the surface...go inside...
I'll let you go. Great write! I admire "Thinkers," and you are a superb "Thinker."
