Me in You

For Emma

When you meet a reflective mirror,

look deep.

Remember with compassion:

You are looking into you

Reflection of a self

-long left behind-

Back to haunt you.

With intention and respect

-in awe and gratitude-

This mirror

is also independent of you.

Guide with the wisdom you didn’t have

The unfledged self;

The wisdom here to teach you now.
