The Man's Reflection
The man stood in front of his mirror
As if he were searching for more
Longing for someone to talk with
Share his greatest feats
And crushing downfalls
The man peered into his reflection
With a sullen inquisitive look
Focusing on all his imperfections
Ignoring all his magnificent features
And he wept once more
The man’s reflection stood confused
Staring at the weeping man
He spoke as the man lamented
Showing echos of his past
The man fell to his knees
The man spoke with his reflection
Like it was a portal into his soul
Found within something unexpected
A beating, steadfast heart
He wiped away his tears
The man rose to his feet
Brimming with new energy
And determination shone from his eyes
His smile bright like stars in the night’s sky
The man’s reflection twinkled with satisfaction
