Reflection
Looking in I see
how I came to be here
and a path that leads away
or is it back across a place
already traveled -- roads look alike
faces so familiar who can tell
whether you are peering
at a mirror or perhaps
a silvered map
--smh
This poem is a Magpie Tale.
Write a little something about what you see,
and then share it!

Oh, I like the dual idea here: introspection and release.
Love the way it sounds if your reading the last half of the verse against the first half. It really does give a reflection feeling.
BTW, now that I think about it, mirror really do look like silvered maps. Nice!
Love it - you surely have a way with words Susan!
Wonderful! like the form (shape) as well as the spoken word here.
It's pleasantly mysterious. Adds to the joy of reading.
The "silvered map" is a good poetic idea.
mirrors are tricky-nice post!
Beautiful!
