Mirror & Me

What if,

When I shave each morning

I look in a mirror

And see the real me,

The me that is love

That is me mixed into everything,

Not just my body

but everything I can imagine

That makes me me

And more, so much more?

What if

When I wash my face

I look in a mirror

And see an awe inspiring me

Looking back so very lovingly at me?

What if 

The image in the mirror

Is the real me

Looking at a manufactured me,

Who spends far too much time

Looking at my flaws and foibles?

What if 

The image in the mirror

Is trying to tell me

That I have merely forgotten

That I am in person in the mirror

Who is awesome in so many ways,

And who shouldn't spend so much time

On the flaws and foibles.

What if 

The image in the mirror

Is asking me to spend more time

On the love and beauty within me

So that it can shine out?

What if

The image in the mirror is

Trying to show me

The real me
Who is playing

Hide and seek with me?
And every time I look in a mirror

The real me is hiding in my eyes.
