Analysis of Reflections
As i pose before the mirrors
I see not me
But greatness held within
Knocking on the mirror surface.
Besides me, shadows
Of the past fading
As if I've found light
From my reflections.
It's just a reminder
That looking forth,
The past fades away
Like shadows, in light's presence.
