Mirror Prayer

May the mirror I face
on the day of my death
reflect the essence
with which I was born.

  7. Thank you all for the kind comments. This was one of those poems that just happened - rare for me, a muse poem. Usually my work is more the result of what my beloved friend Diane used to call "bum glue."
