REFLECTION

REFLECTION


You look familiar to me
But still you’re a stranger.
You have been with me so long,
That I do remember:

You are my own reflection.
In that case, who am I?
He made man in His image;
Then where does the truth lie?

Are you then a reflection
Of His own true image?
Or, are you, in fact, nothing
More than mere verbiage?

Should I revere you just as
His own image I should?
Or, is it that from my mind,
I discard you for good?
