A Spherical Mirror Poem by Liza Sud
A Spherical Mirror
You are a small lier!
But lets hide it from people's eyes!
It was not inspired by Balmont,
but just the both of us!
You are a small sinner.
You made a saint person sin.
But may be it's a full sphere,
that poetry always sings!
You have become my mirror,
you stand in front of my eyes,
and all is reflected in you
and happily comes back.
You turn too when I am turning,
you smile by the very turn.
And mirror is no more lonely,
acquiring a spherical form.
That's how you beget the likeness,
that's how you grow up to God,
Who mirrors us all in turnings,
where every motion is love.

I love to read your poems the day they are written. It collapses the distance between us with its immediacy! // This is an inspired poem, Liza, and I absolutely love it. It begins with sly humor - and truth-telling: SMALL LIAR/SMALL SINNER. But suddenly in the third stanza you drop the irony and humor and state with eloquent clarity: YOU HAVE BECOME MY MIRROR... ALL IS REFLECTED etc. This is so true, Liza, and you express it so simply but profoundly. But it's the last stanza that took my breath. The way you show our lives and loves are actually part of a much bigger reality, namely, TO GOD, and the last two lines combine the mirror image, the togetherness theme, in a heightened awareness of the eternal in the temporal, that is, God presiding over everything, including us two, small liars, small sinners, big lovers, happy persons! GOD MIRRORS US IN ALL TURNINGS, WHERE EVERY MOTION IS LOVE. What a beautiful statement of faith! What a benign view of life! Love, big and small, triumphs in your poem.
