Into her
eyes I see
her soul...
The makeup
of her being
dressed in
her uniqueness.
Yet so much
me.

Beautiful.

You have really said a lot in so few words. the images you paint here are very soft, and endearing. I had a mirror image like this once, but she is gone to heaven now and maybe one day I will see this reflection again. I am the mirror image of my mother, and yes I can apply this poem to be about her, and me. Thank you Shelly for sharing this wonderful poem.
Love & hugs,
Barbara

Such few words, yet so much is said.
Are u speaking of your daughter?
My favourite part
"Into her
eyes I see
her soul..."

"...so much me" Reminds me of a parent and child, but also of someone who feels that closeness for someone they love, that who they are is in someway inseparable.
It only takes having one thing in common to get that feeling I think.

you always know how to draw
me in to your poetry. same
skin...

The mirror reveals its wonders to be behold. You catch the sense of strangeness. I feel but thirty and there is this white haired man staring back. Who'd a guessed.
I loved to hear such a powerful description. A wonder to behold.

This could be me speaking of my daughter or myself. We reflect each other like twins.
Splendid! You carried the prompt right to the brink! I wish you well in the challenge.

I love this. Is it about your daughter? That's how it strikes me. Good luck.
