Faces in the window……..
One afternoon, couching by the fire,
I had not else to do,
So then I joyed myself,
By watching the faces in a window.
First saw I the face,
Of one so innocent of a child,
Face of someone ,
Who had nothing to hide.
Came then the view of a face,
Of a playful one,
Careless of his duties,
And work undone.
Came next the face ,
Savored in anger,
Much that he saw nothing,
Else than the hard stalk of a feather.
Then saw I the face of one,
Lost in love’s abyss,
Darkened in life,
Scared of innocent bliss.
Oh then the face,
Which broke others hearts,
With misunderstood rage
And fearful rage.
Finally I saw the sign of one,
Yearning for love and care,
In a very confused state,
With his mind terribly bare.
Then I realized,
With a sudden shiver,
Oh My lord! Bless me,
It wasn’t a window but a mirror!

This is a great write! I have tried to use mirror analogies like this before, but it didn't turn out nearly as well... You've done an awesome job with this - discribing all the inner people as if they were different entities before saying that they are all you.
