Reflections Poem by Michael Burch

Reflections
by Michael R. Burch

I am her mirror.
I say she is kind,
lovely, breathtaking.
She screams that I'm blind.

I show her her beauty,
her brilliance and compassion.
She refuses to believe me,
for that's the latest fashion.

She storms and she rages;
she dissolves into tears
while envious Angels
are, by God, her only Peers.
