Mirror

by Doug Foust

A measure seen where glass could be.

To tell of life that light believes.

Defined by words that silence knows.

And never any secrets go.

A measure seen as glass conceives.

And light has life where patterns speak.

While forms that words cannot convey.

Come forth where image holds its way.

The measure seen as glass could read.

Its vision told that all might see.

Spoke by silence that brings it near.

The ways and forms that light can hear.

A measure seen as glass believes.

The every memory there to be.

Where heart and image always keep.

And hold the truth reflection speaks.

A measure seen where light can be.

With forms and patterns vision reads.

And day and night can never hold.

The only story the glass has told.
