Mirrored Reflections.

Another subject from my writers group, this time on the subject of 'Mirrors. Enjoy.

Mirrored Reflection.

I once caught a reflection in the heart of my God
And realised with surprise that it was my own.
From start to end and everything between,
Including those features I’d wish never were seen.
I wondered aloud if this mirror could talk
Then heard in my heart a tone like my own,
“Look again my child, catch the reflection I see
When I gaze on your soul from eternity.”

I again saw the mirror in the heart of my God
But the image it revealed had subtly reversed.
Now left was to left, while the right was to right
And those features I’d hidden were now fit to be seen.
I wondered aloud what had caused things to change,
Then remembered a truth my heart had long known,
That the image God see’s is what creation can be
When uniquely reflected in the mirror called ‘Love.
