there he sits quiet and still
like a statue frozen in time
through his relfection can he see
like alice in the looking glass
an opposite world of himself
is it an opposite dimention
or a look inside his soul
is he wondering if i see him
can i see him the way he sees
or is it what he sees with his eyes
what he sees with his mind
but it is a trick you see
when we look upon this man
our eyes seek what we want to see

hmm...gotta think about it. I like it because of that...like sometimes i wonder if my eyes are lying to me and im seeing different stuff than everyone else i just have no clue..its weird. but i liked this

Fabulously done! This was just stunning. The word choice in this was just lovely and the personality written in was awesome... the only thing I could suggest is more imagery... other than that this was great! Wonderful metaphor, good luck in the contest.

That is a truly obscure image..I loved it, it spoke so much and you really wrote an excellent piece, to give it great homage, sweety...
