The Reflection on the Window
The Reflection on the Window

Reflections on a window

As I look in the window

I see the white snow

Beyond it I see mountains

Draped with ice curtains

A reminder of an early winter

An unfamiliar face

Looking at me like a warm embrace

As I continue to see

I realize it's me

As I read books

sitting next to the window,

I saw a familiar fellow,

It was me in the reflection,

When I saw myself looking at me,

I thought "this is what people see".

The person in the window

Was neither friend nor foe

At times they're my biggest support

At times they treat me like dirt

For the people we criticize the most

Is the body our own soul's host. 8B Tselmuun .S
