Mirror

a poem by Asha Sunil

Oh Mirror, Oh Mirror- as I gaze into thee,
This mortal, perishable body of mine I see-
If only you did show something deeper,
If only you did reflect one’s thoughts,
If only you did expose to one’s eyes
The true image of the soul inside,
Tell me who’d have the courage to peep into thee?
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
There are beautiful people whose hearts are small…
